The X-ray Polarization Probe mission concept
Keith Jahoda, Henric Krawczynski, Fabian Kislat +100
The X-ray Polarization Probe (XPP) is a second generation X-ray polarimeter following up on the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The XPP will offer true broadband polarim…
Inflight Calibration of the Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (2) Point Spread Function
Yoshitomo Maeda, Toshiki Sato, Takayuki Hayashi +14
We present results of inflight calibration of the point spread function (PSF) of the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT-S) that focuses X-ray onto the pixel array of the Soft X-ray Spectrom…
Time Assignment System and Its Performance aboard the Hitomi Satellite
Yukikatsu Terada, Sunao Yamaguchi, Shigenobu Sugimoto +24
Fast timing capability in X-ray observation of astrophysical objects is one of the key properties for the ASTRO-H (Hitomi) mission. Absolute timing accuracies of 350 micro second o…
