Optomechanical Design of the MANTIS SmallSat: An Extreme-, Far- and Near-Ultraviolet Spectrograph for Exoplanet Host Stars
Brian Fleming, Briana Indahl, Dmitry Vorobiev +16
The MANTIS (Monitoring Activity of Nearby sTars with uv Imaging and Spectroscopy) observatory is a compact, multi-instrument small satellite designed for simultaneous extreme- (EUV…
Profile reconstruction of grazing-incidence X-ray mirrors from intra-focal X-ray full imaging
D. Spiga, S. Basso, M. Bavdaz +11
The optics of a number of future X-ray telescopes will have very long focal lengths (10 - 20 m), and will consist of a number of nested/stacked thin, grazing-incidence mirrors. The…
Development of mirrors made of chemically tempered glass foils for future X-ray telescopes
B. Salmaso, M. Civitani, B. Brizzolari +6
Thin slumped glass foils are considered good candidates for the realization of future X-ray telescopes with large effective area and high spatial resolution. However, the hot slump…
Evaluation of the surface strength of glass plates shaped by hot slumping process
L. Proserpio, S. Basso, F. Borsa +15
The Hot Slumping Technology is under development by several research groups in the world for the realization of grazing-incidence segmented mirrors for X-ray astronomy, based on th…
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…
