EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
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…
Overview and design optimization of a custom hybrid X-ray telescope for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
Yue Yu, Jooyun Woo, Ipek Altunyurt +34
We present the design optimization for maximizing the effective area of a custom X-ray optic for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) and BabyIAXO, including its novel hybrid…
Characterization of large diameter ultra-thin vacuum windows for soft X-ray applications
K. Desch, E. Ferrer-Ribas, F. J. Iguaz +3
We present novel, ultra-thin, large-diameter silicon nitride windows for various soft X-ray applications. Together with the company NORCADA, we developed windows with 200 nm and 30…
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…
Construction and characterization of a seven-chip GridPix X-ray detector for solar axion searches
Klaus Desch, Jochen Kaminski, Christoph Krieger +2
In the scope of solar axion searches, detectors which are able to measure low energetic X-rays with high efficiency are required. For this purpose a detector based on the GridPix t…
