In orbit background for hard X-ray CubeSat polarimeters: case study of the CUSP mission in low-earth orbit
Abhay Kumar, Giovanni Lombardi, Riccardo Campana +45
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) project aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the 25 - 100 keV hard X-ray band using a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUS…
A Focal-plane X-ray Polarimeter with Spectral and Timing Capabilities for Future Missions
Hemanth Manikantan, Carlo Lefevre, Lorenzo Petrucci +16
The NASA-ASI mission Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE) firmly established X-ray polarimetry as a core observation pillar of high-energy astrophysics, alongside imaging, tim…
The CUSP CubeSat mission for space weather multi-physics analysis, design, and testing
Giovanni Lombardi, Riccardo Di Spirito, Sergio Fabiani +48
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band by means of a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUSP is a…
Compton Polarimeter Prototype for the CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission
Nicolas De Angelis, Andrea Alimenti, Riccardo Campana +41
The paper presents the design, construction, and laboratory testing of a flight‑representative Compton polarimeter prototype for the CubeSat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission, which…
X-ray polarization of Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries -- II. Spectropolarimetric analysis
Andrea Gnarini, Francesco Ursini, Giorgio Matt +8
IXPE has provided for the first time detailed energy- and time-resolved X-ray polarimetry of Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs) as they move along their color-c…
Instruments for Focal Plane X-Ray Polarimetry in the Next Decade
Fabio Muleri, Stefano Cesare, Enrico Costa +18
The successful detection of X-ray polarization from many celestial sources belonging to different classes by the IXPE mission has opened a new window in X-ray astronomy. While an i…
