XIPE: the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Xavier Barcons, Ronaldo Bellazzini +96
X-ray polarimetry, sometimes alone, and sometimes coupled to spectral and temporal variability measurements and to imaging, allows a wealth of physical phenomena in astrophysics to…
The Extreme Physics Explorer and Large Area Micro-Channel Plate Optics
Michael Garcia, Martin Elvis, Jon Chappell +10
The Extreme Physics Explorer (EPE) is a concept timing/spectroscopy mission that would use micro-channel plate optics (MCPO) to provide 4 square meters effective area focused to ~1…
Fe XVII X-ray Line Ratios for Accurate Astrophysical Plasma Diagnostics
J. D. Gillaspy, T. Lin, L. Tedesco +6
New laboratory measurements using an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) and an x-ray microcalorimeter are presented for the n=3 to n=2 Fe XVII emission lines in the 15 Å to 17 Å range,…
A Vigorous Explorer Program
Martin Elvis, Matthew Beasley, Roger Brissenden +47
Explorers have made breakthroughs in many fields of astrophysics. The science from both these missions contributed to three Nobel Prizes - Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006)…
Visible, EUV, and X-ray Spectroscopy at the NIST EBIT Facility
J. D. Gillaspy, B. Blagojevic, A. Dalgarno +13
After a brief introduction to the NIST EBIT facility, we present the results of three different types of experiments that have been carried out there recently: EUV and visible spec…
