X-Ray Polarimetry with the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR)
Henric S. Krawczynski, Daniel Stern, Fiona A. Harrison +49
This paper describes the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR), a mission proposed to NASA's 2014 Small Explorer (SMEX) announcement of opportunity. PolSTAR measures…
Design and Performance of the X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Matthias Beilicke, F. Kislat, A. Zajczyk +13
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,…
An Unfolding Method for X-ray Spectro-Polarimetry
Fabian Kislat, Matthias Beilicke, Qingzhen Guo +2
X-ray polarimetry has great scientific potential and new experiments, such as X-Calibur, PoGOLite, XIPE, and GEMS, will not only be orders of magnitude more sensitive than previous…
Optimization of the Design of the Hard X-ray Polarimeter X-Calibur
Qingzhen Guo, Matthias Beilicke, Alfred Garson +3
We report on the optimization of the hard X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur for a high-altitude balloon-flight in the focal plane of the InFOCμS X-ray telescope from Fort Sumner (NM) in…
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,…
Design of a Hard X-ray Polarimeter: X-Calibur
Qingzhen Guo, Alfred Garson, Matthias Beilicke +3
We report on Monte Carlo studies of the hard X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur. The polarimeter will be used in the focal plane of a grazing incidence hard X-ray telescope. It combines a…
