X-ray polarimetry on-board HXMT
Paolo Soffitta, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Gianpiero Tagliaferri +15
The development of micropixel gas detectors, capable to image tracks produced in a gas by photoelectrons, makes possible to perform polarimetry of X-ray celestial sources in the fo…
XIAO: a soft X-ray telescope for the SVOM Mission
S. Mereghetti, A. De Luca, M. Fiorini +23
The study of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a key field to expand our understanding of several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena. SVOM is a Chinese-French Mission which will per…
Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays, Spiral galaxies and Magnetars
G. Ghisellini, G. Ghirlanda, F. Tavecchio +2
We measure the correlation between the arrival directions of the highest energy cosmic rays detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory with the position of the galaxies in the HI Par…
Development status of a Laue lens project for gamma-ray astronomy
F. Frontera, G. Loffredo, A. Pisa +17
We report the status of the HAXTEL project, devoted to perform a design study and the development of a Laue lens prototype. After a summary of the major results of the design study…
