Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts
A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101
This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…
Searching for Gravitational Wave Events Counterparts in X-Rays by Tilting the Multiple Shells of Wolter-I Optics
John Rankin, Daniele Spiga, Paolo Conconi +5
Current X-ray telescopes have a combination of field of view and angular resolution that makes it difficult to quickly localize the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wa…
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…
An accurate solar axions ray-tracing response of BabyIAXO
S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmueller, I. Antolin +124
BabyIAXO is the intermediate stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) to be hosted at DESY. Its primary goal is the detection of solar axions following the axion heliosc…
Additive manufacturing in ceramics: targeting lightweight mirror applications in the visible, ultraviolet and X-ray
Carolyn Atkins, Younes Chahid, Gregory Lister +12
Additive manufacturing (AM; 3D printing) has clear benefits in the production of lightweight mirrors for astronomy: it can create optimised lightweight structures and combine multi…
Towards imaging-spectro-polarimetry of solar flares in the X-rays
Sergio Fabiani, John Rankin, Stefano Basso +19
X-ray polarimetry of solar flares is still a not well established field of observation of our star. Past polarimeters were not able to measure with a high significance the polariza…
