REX: X-ray experiment on the Water Recovery Rocket
Martin Urban, Ondrej Nentvich, Tomas Baca +10
This paper presents Rocket Experiment (REX) that was part of a dual payload rocket campaign for NASA's sounding rocket Black Brant IX with water recovery technology. This mission w…
X-ray verification of sol-gel resist shrinkage in substrate-conformal imprint lithography for a replicated blazed reflection grating
Jake A. McCoy, Marc A. Verschuuren, Drew M. Miles +1
Surface-relief gratings fabricated through nanoimprint lithography (NIL) are prone to topographic distortion induced by resist shrinkage. Characterizing the impact of this effect o…
Extreme Ultraviolet and Soft X-Ray Diffraction Efficiency of a Blazed Reflection Grating Fabricated by Thermally Activated Selective Topography Equilibration
Jake A. McCoy, Randall L. McEntaffer, Drew M. Miles
Future observatories utilizing reflection grating spectrometers for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectroscopy require high-fidelity gratings with both blazed groo…
HaloSat -- A CubeSat to Study the Hot Galactic Halo
P. Kaaret, A. Zajczyk, D. M. LaRocca +13
HaloSat is a small satellite (CubeSat) designed to map soft X-ray oxygen line emission across the sky in order to constrain the mass and spatial distribution of hot gas in the Milk…
Line Spread Functions of Blazed Off-Plane Gratings Operated in the Littrow Mounting
Casey T. DeRoo, Randall L. McEntaffer, Drew M. Miles +13
Future soft X-ray (10 - 50 Angstrom) spectroscopy missions require higher effective areas and resolutions to perform critical science that cannot be done by instruments on current…
Performance Testing of a Novel Off-plane Reflection Grating and Silicon Pore Optic Spectrograph at PANTER
Hannah Marlowe, Randall L. McEntaffer, Ryan Allured +12
An X-ray spectrograph consisting of radially ruled off-plane reflection gratings and silicon pore optics was tested at the Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics PANTER…
