In-flight calibration system of Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Fabio Muleri, Carlo Lefevre +22
The NASA/ASI Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, which will be launched in 2021, will be the first instrument to perform spatially resolved X-ray polarimetry on several astronomica…
Prospects for IXPE and eXTP polarimetric archaeology of the reflection nebulae in the Galactic center
L. Di Gesu, R. Ferrazzoli, I. Donnarumma +5
The X-ray polarization properties of the reflection nebulae in the Galactic center inform us about the direction of the illuminating source (through the polarization angle) and the…
AGILESim: Monte Carlo simulation of the AGILE gamma-ray telescope
V. Fioretti, A. Bulgarelli, M. Tavani +12
The accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations in reproducing the scientific performance of space telescopes (e.g. angular resolution) is mandatory for a correct design of the mission. A…
An X-Ray Burst from a Magnetar Enlightening the Mechanism of Fast Radio Bursts
M. Tavani, C. Casentini, A. Ursi +60
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (millisecond) radio pulses originating from enigmatic sources at extragalactic distances so far lacking a detection in other energy bands. Magnet…
Gamma-Ray and X-Ray Observations of the Periodic-Repeater FRB 180916 During Active Phases
M. Tavani, F. Verrecchia, C. Casentini +33
FRB 180916 is a most intriguing source at 150 Mpc distance capable of producing repeating fast radio bursts with a periodic 16.35 day temporal pattern. We report on the X-ray and $…
