The Hard X-ray Polarimeter X-Calibur - Design and Tests
M. Beilicke, W. R. Binns, J. Buckley +17
X-ray polarimetry promises to give new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray…
Design and tests of the hard X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
M. Beilicke, M. G. Baring, S. Barthelmy +17
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei,…
Flight Performance of an advanced CZT Imaging Detector in a Balloon-borne Wide-Field Hard X-ray Telescope - ProtoEXIST1
J. Hong, B. Allen, J. Grindlay +6
We successfully carried out the first high-altitude balloon flight of a wide-field hard X-ray coded-aperture telescope ProtoEXIST1, which was launched from the Columbia Scientific…
TeV and Multi-wavelength Observations of Mrk 421 in 2006-2008
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +103
We report on TeV gamma-ray observations of the blazar Mrk 421 (redshift of 0.031) with the VERITAS observatory and the Whipple 10m Cherenkov telescope. The excellent sensitivity of…
