Study of Lobster and Kirkpatrick-Baez Designs for a Small Mission dedicated to Gravitational Wave Transient Localization
John Rankin, Sergio Campana, Giovanni Pareschi +5
The localization of X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave events requires a telescope with accurate localization capability in a field of view comparable to the region constrain…
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO): case, status and plans. Input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics
A. Arcusa, S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmuller +120
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a next-generation axion helioscope designed to search for solar axions with unprecedented sensitivity. IAXO holds a unique position in…
Design, manufacture and metrology of additively manufactured, metal and ceramic lightweight circular mirror prototypes
Greg Lister, Rhys Tuck, Younes Chahid +9
Spaced-based mirrors are a developing use-case for Additive Manufacturing (AM), the process that builds a part layer-by-layer. The increased geometric freedom results in novel and…
Additive manufacturing in ceramics: targeting lightweight mirror applications in the visible, ultraviolet and X-ray
Carolyn Atkins, Younes Chahid, Gregory Lister +12
Additive manufacturing (AM; 3D printing) has clear benefits in the production of lightweight mirrors for astronomy: it can create optimised lightweight structures and combine multi…
