Xtend, the Soft X-ray Imaging Telescope for the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM)
Koji Mori, Hiroshi Tomida, Hiroshi Nakajima +52
Xtend is a soft X-ray imaging telescope developed for the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM). XRISM is scheduled to be launched in the Japanese fiscal year 2022. Xtend…
ASCENT - A balloon-borne hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy telescope using transition edge sensor microcalorimeter detectors
Fabian Kislat, Daniel Becker, Douglas Bennett +26
Core collapse supernovae are thought to be one of the main sources in the galaxy of elements heavier than iron. Understanding the origin of the elements is thus tightly linked to o…
A concept for the X-ray telescope system with an angular-resolution booster
Yoshitomo Maeda, Ryo Iizuka, Takayuki Hayashi +7
We present a concept of the X-ray imaging system with high angular-resolution and moderate sensitivity. In this concept, a two-dimensional detector, i.e., imager, is put at a sligh…
In-flight Calibration of Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (3) Effective Area
Masahiro Tsujimoto, Takashi Okajima, Megan E. Eckart +14
We present the result of the in-flight calibration of the effective area of the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) onboard the Hitomi X-ray satellite using an observation of the Crab ne…
Inflight Calibration of the Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (2) Point Spread Function
Yoshitomo Maeda, Toshiki Sato, Takayuki Hayashi +14
We present results of inflight calibration of the point spread function (PSF) of the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT-S) that focuses X-ray onto the pixel array of the Soft X-ray Spectrom…
In-orbit performance of the soft X-ray imaging system aboard Hitomi (ASTRO-H)
H. Nakajima, Y. Maeda, H. Uchida +46
We describe the in-orbit performance of the soft X-ray imaging system consisting of the Soft X-ray Telescope and the Soft X-ray Imager aboard Hitomi. Verification and calibration o…
