Observation of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab by the PoGOLite Pathfinder
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Jackson +19
We have measured the linear polarisation of hard X-ray emission from the Crab in a previously unexplored energy interval, 20-120 keV. The introduction of two new observational para…
The first demonstration of the concept of "narrow-FOV Si/CdTe semiconductor Compton camera"
Yuto Ichinohe, Yuusuke Uchida, Shin Watanabe +14
The Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD), to be deployed onboard the {\it ASTRO-H} satellite, has been developed to provide the highest sensitivity observations of celestial sources in th…
The design and flight performance of the PoGOLite Pathfinder balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Jackson +15
In the 50 years since the advent of X-ray astronomy there have been many scientific advances due to the development of new experimental techniques for detecting and characterising…
Preflight performance studies of the PoGOLite hard X-ray polarimeter
M. Chauvin, M. Jackson, T. Kawano +6
Polarimetric studies of astrophysical sources can make important contributions to resolve the geometry of the emitting region and determine the photon emission mechanism. PoGOLite…
Pathfinder flight of the Polarized Gamma-ray Observer (PoGOLite) in 2013
Takafumi Kawano
The Polarized Gamma-ray Observer (PoGOLite) is a balloon-borne instrument that can measure polarization in the energy range 25--240 keV. The instrument adopts an array of well-type…
Observations of Gamma-ray Bursts with ASTRO-H and Fermi
M. Ohno, T. Kawano, M. S. Tashiro +9
ASTRO-H, the sixth Japanese X-ray observatory, which is scheduled to be launched by the end of Japanese fiscal year 2015 has a capability to observe the prompt emission from Gamma-…
