Imaging Analysis of the Hard X-ray Telescope ProtoEXIST2 and New Techniques for High Resolution Coded Aperture Telescopes
Jaesub Hong, Branden Allen, Jonathan Grindlay +1
Wide-field (> 100 deg) hard X-ray coded-aperture telescopes with high angular resolution (< 2') will enable a wide range of time domain astrophysics. For instance, transient so…
Design and Performance of the X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Matthias Beilicke, F. Kislat, A. Zajczyk +13
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei,…
Tiled Array of Pixelated CZT Imaging Detectors for ProtoEXIST2 and MIRAX-HXI
Jaesub Hong, Branden Allen, Jonathan Grindlay +7
We have assembled a tiled array (220 cm2) of fine pixel (0.6 mm) imaging CZT detectors for a balloon borne wide-field hard X-ray telescope, ProtoEXIST2. ProtoEXIST2 is a prototype…
The High Resolution X-Ray Imaging Detector Planes for the MIRAX Mission
Barbara H. G. Rodrigues, Jonathan E. Grindlay, Branden Allen +5
The MIRAX X-ray observatory, the first Brazilian-led astrophysics space mission, is designed to perform an unprecedented wide-field, wide-band hard X-ray (5-200 keV) survey of Gala…
Responding to the Event Deluge
Roy D. Williams, Scott D. Barthelmy, Robert B. Denny +2
We present the VOEventNet infrastructure for large-scale rapid follow-up of astronomical events, including selection, annotation, machine intelligence, and coordination of observat…
The Black Hole Evolution and Space Time (BEST) Observatory
Henric Krawczynski, Jack Tueller, Scott Barthelmy +10
In this white paper, we discuss the concept of a next-generation X-ray mission called BEST (Black hole Evolution and Space Time). The mission concept uses a 3000 square centimeter…
