Design and in-orbit calibration of the MXT optics
Charly Feldman, James Pearson, Gillian Butcher +6
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) is one of four instruments on the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) satellite mission, launched on the 22nd…
Soft X-ray prompt emission from a high-redshift gamma-ray burst EP240315a
Y. Liu, H. Sun, D. Xu +191
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to originate from core collapse of massive stars. High-redshift GRBs can probe the star formation and reionization history of the early un…
The Scientific Performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM Mission
D. Gotz, M. Boutelier, V. Burwitz +17
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will be the first focusing X-ray telescope based on a "Lobster-Eye" optical design to be flown on Sino-French mission SVOM. SVOM will be dedi…
First wide field-of-view X-ray observations by a lobster eye focusing telescope in orbit
C. Zhang, Z. X. Ling, X. J. Sun +75
As a novel X-ray focusing technology, lobster eye micro-pore optics (MPO) feature both a wide observing field of view and true imaging capability, promising sky monitoring with sig…
The defocused observations of bright sources with Athena/X-IFU
E. S. Kammoun, D. Barret, P. Peille +5
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer of ESA's Athena X-ray observatory. It will deliver X-ray data in the 0.2-12 keV band with an unprece…
The development of a testbed for the X-ray Interferometer mission
Roland den Hartog, Phil Uttley, Richard Willingale +3
An X-ray Interferometer (XRI) has recently been proposed as a theme for ESA's Voyage 2050 planning cycle, with the eventual goal to observe the X-ray sky with an unprecedented angu…
