A Novel Optical Design for Wide-Field Imaging in X-ray Astronomy
Neeraj K. Tiwari, Santosh V. Vadawale, N. P. S. Mithun
Over the decades, astronomical X-ray telescopes have utilized the Wolter type-1 optical design, which provides stigmatic imaging in axial direction but suffers from coma and higher…
Daksha: On Alert for High Energy Transients
Varun Bhalerao, Santosh Vadawale, Shriharsh Tendulkar +45
We present Daksha, a proposed high energy transients mission for the study of electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources, and gamma ray bursts. Daksha will comprise…
DarpanX: A Python Package for Modeling X-ray Reflectivity of Multilayer Mirrors
Biswajit Mondal, Santosh V. Vadawale, N. P. S. Mithun +8
Multilayer X-ray mirrors consist of a coating of a large number of alternate layers of high Z and low Z materials with a typical thickness of 10-100 Angstrom, on a suitable substra…
Ground Calibration of Solar X-ray Monitor On-board Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter
N. P. S. Mithun, Santosh V. Vadawale, M. Shanmugam +14
Chandrayaan-2, the second Indian mission to the Moon, carries a spectrometer called the Solar X-ray Monitor (XSM) to perform soft X-ray spectral measurements of the Sun while a com…
