Development of mirrors made of chemically tempered glass foils for future X-ray telescopes
B. Salmaso, M. Civitani, B. Brizzolari +6
Thin slumped glass foils are considered good candidates for the realization of future X-ray telescopes with large effective area and high spatial resolution. However, the hot slump…
Mirrors for X-ray telescopes: Fresnel diffraction-based computation of point spread functions from metrology
Lorenzo Raimondi, Daniele Spiga
The imaging sharpness of an X-ray telescope is chiefly determined by the optical quality of its focusing optics, which in turn mostly depends on the shape accuracy and the surface…
The imaging properties of the Gas Pixel Detector as a focal plane polarimeter
S. Fabiani, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +19
X-rays are particularly suited to probe the physics of extreme objects. However, despite the enormous improvements of X-ray Astronomy in imaging, spectroscopy and timing, polarimet…
Evaluation of the surface strength of glass plates shaped by hot slumping process
L. Proserpio, S. Basso, F. Borsa +15
The Hot Slumping Technology is under development by several research groups in the world for the realization of grazing-incidence segmented mirrors for X-ray astronomy, based on th…
Re-testing the JET-X Flight Module No. 2 at the PANTER facility
Daniele Spiga, Gianpiero Tagliaferri, Paolo Soffitta +19
The Joint European X-ray Telescope (JET-X) was the core instrument of the Russian Spectrum-X-gamma space observatory. It consisted of two identical soft X-ray (0.3 - 10 keV) telesc…
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…
