Systematic effects on a Compton polarimeter at the focus of an X-ray mirror
M. Aoyagi, R. G. Bose, S. Chun +23
XL-Calibur is a balloon-borne Compton polarimeter for X-rays in the 15-80 keV range. Using an X-ray mirror with a 12 m focal length for collecting photons onto a beryllium sc…
The design and performance of the XL-Calibur anticoincidence shield
N. K. Iyer, M. Kiss, M. Pearce +31
The XL-Calibur balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission comprises a Compton-scattering polarimeter placed at the focal point of an X-ray mirror. The polarimeter is housed withi…
Peculiar temporal and spectral features in highly obscured HMXB pulsar IGR J16320-4751 using XMM-Newton
Varun, Nirmal Iyer, Biswajit Paul
IGR J16320-4751 is a highly obscured HMXB source containing a very slow neutron star ( sec) orbiting its supergiant companion star with a period of 9 days.…
Performance of the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission during its 2018/19 Long-Duration Balloon Flight
Quincy Abarr, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Matthias Beilicke +28
X-Calibur is a balloon-borne telescope that measures the polarization of high-energy X-rays in the 15--50keV energy range. The instrument makes use of the fact that X-rays scatter…
Evolution of timing and spectral characteristics of 4U 1901+03 during its 2019 outburst using the Swift and NuSTAR observatories
Aru Beri, Tinku, Nirmal K. Iyer +1
We report the results from a detailed timing and spectral study of transient X-ray pulsars, 4U 1901+03 during its 2019 outburst. We performed broadband spectroscopy in the 1-70 keV…
XL-Calibur -- a second-generation balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission
Q. Abarr, H. Awaki, M. G. Baring +38
XL-Calibur is a hard X-ray (15-80 keV) polarimetry mission operating from a stabilised balloon-borne platform in the stratosphere. It builds on heritage from the X-Calibur mission,…
