The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera
J. P. Osborne, A. P. Beardmore, O. Godet +23
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 144 eV FWHM at 6.5 keV. We describe the CCD calibration p…
SIMBOL-X, a formation flying-mission for hard X-ray astrophysics
P. Ferrando, A. Goldwurm, P. Laurent +13
SIMBOL-X is a hard X-ray mission, operating in the ~ 0.5-70 keV range, which is proposed by a consortium of European laboratories in response to the 2004 call for ideas of CNES for…
The Swift X-ray Telescope
David N. Burrows, J. E. Hill, J. A. Nousek +21
The Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer is designed to make prompt multiwavelength observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and GRB afterglows. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) enables Swift to deter…
An X-ray Galaxy Cluster Survey for Investigations of Dark Energy
Z. Haiman, S. Allen, N. Bahcall +34
The amount and nature of dark energy (DE) can be tightly constrained by measuring the spatial correlation features and evolution of a sample of ~ 100,000 galaxy clusters over the r…
