Laue and Fresnel lenses
Enrico Virgilli, Hubert Halloin, Gerald Skinner
The low-energy gamma-ray domain is an important window for the study of the high energy Universe. Here matter can be observed in extreme physical conditions and during powerful exp…
Exploring the MeV Sky with a Combined Coded Mask and Compton Telescope: The Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton Telescope (GECCO)
Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev +33
The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept that builds on and improves past and currently proposed missions at such energie…
Phase Fresnel Lens Development for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
John Krizmanic, Gerald Skinner, Zaven Arzoumanian +8
In principle, diffractive optics, particularly Phase Fresnel Lenses (PFLs), offer the ability to construct large, diffraction-limited, and highly efficient X-ray/-ray telescopes…
The 70 Month Swift-BAT All-Sky Hard X-Ray Survey
W. H. Baumgartner, J. Tueller, C. B. Markwardt +5
We present the catalog of sources detected in 70 months of observations of the BAT hard X-ray detector on the Swift gamma-ray burst observatory. The Swift-BAT 70 month survey has d…
Energy-dependent orbital modulation of X-rays and constraints on emission of the jet in Cyg X-3
Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Chandreyee Maitra, Adam Frankowski +2
We study orbital modulation of X-rays from Cyg X-3, using data from Swift, INTEGRAL and RXTE. Using the wealth of the presently available data and an improved averaging method, we…
X-ray variability patterns and radio/X-ray correlations in Cyg X-1
Andrzej A. Zdziarski, Gerald K. Skinner, Guy G. Pooley +1
We have studied the X-ray variability patterns and correlations of the radio and X-ray fluxes in all spectral states of Cyg X-1 using X-ray data from RXTE/ASM, CGRO/BATSE, and Swif…
