Performance of the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission during its 2018/19 Long-Duration Balloon Flight
Quincy Abarr, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Matthias Beilicke +28
X-Calibur is a balloon-borne telescope that measures the polarization of high-energy X-rays in the 15--50keV energy range. The instrument makes use of the fact that X-rays scatter…
Observations of a GX 301-2 Apastron Flare with the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimeter Supported by NICER, the Swift XRT and BAT, and Fermi GBM
Q. Abarr, M. Baring, B. Beheshtipour +28
The accretion-powered X-ray pulsar GX 301-2 was observed with the balloon-borne X-Calibur hard X-ray polarimeter during late December 2018, with contiguous observations by the NICE…
Discovery of Very High Energy Gamma Rays from 1ES 1440+122
VERITAS Collaboration, S. Archambault, A. Archer +87
The BL Lacertae object 1ES 1440+122 was observed in the energy range from 85 GeV to 30 TeV by the VERITAS array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The observations, taken…
Very High Energy outburst of Markarian 501 in May 2009
E. Aliu, S. Archambault, A. Archer +108
The very high energy (VHE; E 100 GeV) blazar Markarian 501 was observed between April 17 and May 5 (MJD 54938--54956), 2009, as part of an extensive multi-wavelength campaign f…
X-Ray Polarimetry with the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR)
Henric S. Krawczynski, Daniel Stern, Fiona A. Harrison +49
This paper describes the Polarization Spectroscopic Telescope Array (PolSTAR), a mission proposed to NASA's 2014 Small Explorer (SMEX) announcement of opportunity. PolSTAR measures…
VERITAS detection of -ray flaring activity from the BL Lac object 1ES 1727+502 during bright moonlight observations
S. Archambault, A. Archer, M. Beilicke +80
During moonlit nights, observations with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes at very high energies (VHE, GeV) are constrained since the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in the te…
