Calibration and performance studies of the balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter PoGO+
M. Chauvin, M. Friis, M. Jackson +7
Polarimetric observations of celestial sources in the hard X-ray band stand to provide new information on emission mechanisms and source geometries. PoGO+ is a Compton scattering p…
Optimising a balloon-borne polarimeter in the hard X-ray domain: from the PoGOLite Pathfinder to PoGO+
Maxime Chauvin, Miranda Jackson, Takafumi Kawano +6
PoGOLite is a balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter dedicated to the study of point sources. Compton scattered events are registered using an array of plastic scintillator units to…
Observation of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab by the PoGOLite Pathfinder
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Jackson +19
We have measured the linear polarisation of hard X-ray emission from the Crab in a previously unexplored energy interval, 20-120 keV. The introduction of two new observational para…
The design and flight performance of the PoGOLite Pathfinder balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Jackson +15
In the 50 years since the advent of X-ray astronomy there have been many scientific advances due to the development of new experimental techniques for detecting and characterising…
Preflight performance studies of the PoGOLite hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, M. Jackson, T. Kawano +6
Polarimetric studies of astrophysical sources can make important contributions to resolve the geometry of the emitting region and determine the photon emission mechanism. PoGOLite…
PoGOLino: a scintillator-based balloon-borne neutron detector
Merlin Kole, Maxime Chauvin, Yasushi Fukazawa +12
PoGOLino is a balloon-borne scintillator-based experiment developed to study the largely unexplored high altitude neutron environment at high geomagnetic latitudes. The instrument…
