Effect of chromatic dispersion on image size and lattice plane curvature measurements with Rocking Curve Imaging
Elena Ferrari, Claudio Ferrari, Josè Baruchel +6
ADP crystals of large dimensions (80x80x20 mm3), to be used as a X-ray beam expanders in the BEaTriX facility at INAF-OABrera, have been characterised at BM05 beamline at ESRF sync…
First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
Thin glass shells for active optics for future space telescopes
Gabriele Vecchi, Stefano Basso, Marta Civitani +3
We present a method for the manufacturing of thin shells of glass, which appears promising for the development of active optics for future space telescopes. The method exploits the…
Design and advancement status of the Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX)
D. Spiga, C. Pelliciari, B. Salmaso +10
The BEaTriX (Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility) project is an X-ray apparatus under construction at INAF/OAB to generate a broad (200 x 60 mm2), uniform and low-divergent X-ray…
Manufacturing and testing a thin glass mirror shell with piezoelectric active control
D. Spiga, M. Barbera, A. Collura +12
Optics for future X-ray telescopes will be characterized by very large aperture and focal length, and will be made of lightweight materials like glass or silicon in order to keep t…
Active shape correction of a thin glass/plastic X-ray mirror
D. Spiga, M. Barbera, S. Basso +9
Optics for future X-ray telescopes will be characterized by very large aperture and focal length, and will be made of lightweight materials like glass or plastic in order to keep t…
LAMP: a micro-satellite based soft X-ray polarimeter for astrophysics
Rui She, Hua Feng, Fabio Muleri +19
The Lightweight Asymmetry and Magnetism Probe (LAMP) is a micro-satellite mission concept dedicated for astronomical X-ray polarimetry and is currently under early phase study. It…
Profile reconstruction of grazing-incidence X-ray mirrors from intra-focal X-ray full imaging
D. Spiga, S. Basso, M. Bavdaz +11
The optics of a number of future X-ray telescopes will have very long focal lengths (10 - 20 m), and will consist of a number of nested/stacked thin, grazing-incidence mirrors. The…
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…
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…
X-ray scattering of periodic and graded multilayers: comparison of experiments to simulations from surface microroughness characterization
B. Salmaso, D. Spiga, R. Canestrari +1
To enhance the reflectivity of X-ray mirrors beyond the critical angle, multilayer coatings are required. Interface imperfections in the multilayer growth process are known to caus…
