Fermi LAT Observations of the Vela Pulsar
A. A. Abdo
The Vela pulsar is the brightest persistent source in the GeV sky and thus is the traditional first target for new gamma-ray observatories. We report here on initial Fermi Large Ar…
X-ray polarimetry on-board HXMT
Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Gianpiero Tagliaferri +15
The development of micropixel gas detectors, capable to image tracks produced in a gas by photoelectrons, makes possible to perform polarimetry of X-ray celestial sources in the fo…
The Gas Pixel Detector as an X-ray photoelectric polarimeter with a large field of view
Fabio Muleri, Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini +9
The Gas Pixel Detector (GPD) is a new generation device which, thanks to its 50 um pixels, is capable of imaging the photoelectrons tracks produced by photoelectric absorption in a…
An X-ray Polarimeter for HXMT Mission
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Gianpiero Tagliaferri +17
The development of micropixel gas detectors, capable to image tracks produced in a gas by photoelectrons, makes possible to perform polarimetry of X-ray celestial sources in the fo…
A very compact polarizer for an X-ray polarimeter calibration
Fabio Muleri, Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini +10
We devised and built a light, compact and transportable X-ray polarized source based on the Bragg diffraction at nearly 45 degrees. The source is composed by a crystal coupled to a…
A Sealed Gas Pixel Detector for X-ray Astronomy
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, M. Minuti +13
We report on the results of a new, sealed, Gas Pixel Detector. The very compact design and the absence of the gas flow system, make this detector substantially ready for use as foc…
