X-ray polarimetry on-board HXMT
Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Gianpiero Tagliaferri +15
The development of micropixel gas detectors, capable to image tracks produced in a gas by photoelectrons, makes possible to perform polarimetry of X-ray celestial sources in the fo…
XIAO: a soft X-ray telescope for the SVOM Mission
S. Mereghetti, A. De Luca, M. Fiorini +23
The study of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a key field to expand our understanding of several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena. SVOM is a Chinese-French Mission which will per…
Estimation of X-ray scattering impact in imaging degradation for the SIMBOL-X telescope
D. Spiga, G. Pareschi, R. Canestrari +1
The imaging performance of X-ray optics (expressed in terms of HEW, Half-Energy-Width) can be severely affected by X-ray scattering caused by the surface roughness of the mirrors.…
An X-ray Polarimeter for HXMT Mission
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Gianpiero Tagliaferri +17
The development of micropixel gas detectors, capable to image tracks produced in a gas by photoelectrons, makes possible to perform polarimetry of X-ray celestial sources in the fo…
POLARIX: a small mission of x-ray polarimetry
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Paolo Soffitta +24
X-Ray Polarimetry can be now performed by using a Micro Pattern Gas Chamber in the focus of a telescope. It requires large area optics for most important scientific targets. But si…
An X-ray polarimeter for hard X-ray optics
Fabio Muleri, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Enrico Costa +23
Development of multi-layer optics makes feasible the use of X-ray telescope at energy up to 60-80 keV: in this paper we discuss the extension of photoelectric polarimeter based on…
