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…
XPOL: a photoelectric polarimeter onboard XEUS
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Jean Bregeon +14
The XEUS mission incorporates two satellites: the Mirror Spacecraft with 5 m2 of collecting area at 1 keV and 2 m2 at 7 keV, and an imaging resolution of 5" HEW and the Payload Spa…
The Gas Pixel Detector as an X-ray photoelectric polarimeter with a large field of view
Fabio Muleri, Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini +9
The Gas Pixel Detector (GPD) is a new generation device which, thanks to its 50 um pixels, is capable of imaging the photoelectrons tracks produced by photoelectric absorption in a…
Low energy polarization sensitivity of the Gas Pixel Detector
F. Muleri, P. Soffitta, L. Baldini +15
An X-ray photoelectric polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector has been proposed to be included in many upcoming space missions to fill the gap of about 30 years from the first…
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…
A very compact polarizer for an X-ray polarimeter calibration
Fabio Muleri, Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini +10
We devised and built a light, compact and transportable X-ray polarized source based on the Bragg diffraction at nearly 45 degrees. The source is composed by a crystal coupled to a…
