High-resolution x-ray telescopes
S. L. O'Dell, R. J. Brissenden, W. N. Davis +21
High-energy astrophysics is a relatively young scientific field, made possible by space-borne telescopes. During the half-century history of x-ray astronomy, the sensitivity of foc…
Active X-ray Optics for Generation-X, the Next High Resolution X-ray Observatory
Martin Elvis, R. J. Brissenden, G. Fabbiano +8
X-rays provide one of the few bands through which we can study the epoch of reionization, when the first galaxies, black holes and stars were born. To reach the sensitivity require…
The Origin and Distribution of Diffuse Hot Gas in the Spiral Galaxy NGC 3184
N. E. Doane, W. T. Sanders, E. M. Wilcots +1
Deep Chandra exposures reveal the presence of diffuse X-ray emission with a luminosity of 1.3x10^{39} ergs s^{-1} from the spiral galaxy NGC 3184. This appears to be truly diffuse…
Chandra Observations of the "Dark" Moon and Geocoronal Solar-Wind Charge Transfer
B. J. Wargelin, M. Markevitch, M. Juda +3
We have analyzed data from two sets of calibration observations of the Moon made by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. In addition to obtaining a spectrum of the bright side that shows…
Chandra Spectra of the Soft X-ray Diffuse Background
M. Markevitch, M. W. Bautz, B. Biller +14
We present an exploratory Chandra ACIS-S3 study of the diffuse component of the Cosmic X-ray Background in the 0.3-7 keV band for four directions at high Galactic latitudes, with e…
Is RX J185635-375 a Quark Star?
J. J. Drake, H. L. Marshall, S. Dreizler +8
Deep Chandra LETG+HRC-S observations of the isolated neutron star candidate RX J1856.5-3754 have been analysed to search for metallic and resonance cyclotron spectral features and…
