EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
Overview and design optimization of a custom hybrid X-ray telescope for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
Yue Yu, Jooyun Woo, Ipek Altunyurt +34
We present the design optimization for maximizing the effective area of a custom X-ray optic for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) and BabyIAXO, including its novel hybrid…
Fabrication status and expected performance of the inner-core X-ray optic for BabyIAXO
Jooyun Woo, Yue Yu, Ipek Altunyurt +11
BabyIAXO, a pathfinder for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO), is designed to demonstrate all key technologies at scale while achieving an improvement in sensitivity over t…
First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
Spatially resolved properties of the GRB 060505 host: implications for the nature of the progenitor
Christina C. Thoene, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Goeran Oestlin +12
GRB 060505 was the first well-observed nearby possible long-duration GRB that had no associated supernova. Here we present spatially resolved spectra of the host galaxy of GRB 0605…
