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…
XPOL: a photoelectric polarimeter onboard XEUS
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Jean Bregeon +14
The XEUS mission incorporates two satellites: the Mirror Spacecraft with 5 m2 of collecting area at 1 keV and 2 m2 at 7 keV, and an imaging resolution of 5" HEW and the Payload Spa…
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…
A versatile facility for the calibration of X-ray polarimeters with polarized and unpolarized controlled beams
Fabio Muleri, Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini +8
We devised and built a versatile facility for the calibration of the next generation X-ray polarimeters with unpolarized and polarized radiation. The former is produced at 5.9 keV…
AGILE detection of intense gamma-ray emission from the blazar PKS 1510-089
G. Pucella, V. Vittorini, F. D'Ammando +59
We report the detection by the AGILE (Astro-rivelatore Gamma a Immagini LEggero) satellite of an intense gamma-ray flare from the source AGL J1511-0909, associated with the powerfu…
The Gamma--Ray Burst catalog obtained with the Gamma Ray Burst Monitor aboard BeppoSAX
F. Frontera, C. Guidorzi, E. Montanari +11
We report on the catalog of Gamma--Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected with the Gamma Ray Burst Monitor aboard the BeppoSAX satellite. It includes 1082 GRBs with 40--700 keV fluences in the…
