A wide field X-ray telescope for astronomical survey purposes: from theory to practice
P. Conconi, S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri +5
X-ray mirrors are usually built in the Wolter I (paraboloid-hyperboloid) configuration. This design exhibits no spherical aberration on-axis but suffers from field curvature, coma…
Angular Resolution of a Photoelectric Polarimeter in the Focus of an Optical System
Francesco Lazzarotto, Sergio Fabiani, Enrico Costa +12
The INFN and INAF Italian research institutes developed a space-borne X-Ray polarimetry experiment based on a X-Ray telescope, focussing the radiation on a Gas Pixel Detector (GPD)…
Analytical computation of the off-axis Effective Area of grazing incidence X-ray mirrors
D. Spiga, V. Cotroneo, S. Basso +1
Focusing mirrors for X-ray telescopes in grazing incidence, introduced in the 70s, are characterized in terms of their performance by their imaging quality and effective area, whic…
Simbol-X Hard X-ray Focusing Mirrors: Results Obtained During the Phase A Study
G. Tagliaferri, S. Basso, G. Borghi +16
Simbol-X will push grazing incidence imaging up to 80 keV, providing a strong improvement both in sensitivity and angular resolution compared to all instruments that have operated…
