X-ray sources as tracers of the large-scale structure in the Universe

open access: yes, 2000
We review the current status of studies of large-scale structure in the X-ray Universe. After motivating the use X-rays for cosmological purposes, we discuss the various approaches used on different angular scales including X-ray background multipoles ...

The Full Spectrum Galactic Terrarium: MHz to TeV Observations of Various Critters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Multi-wavelength studies at radio, infrared, optical, X-ray, and TeV wavelengths have discovered probable counterparts to many Galactic sources of GeV emission detected by EGRET.

Unbiased CLEAN for STIX in Solar Orbiter

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
CLEAN is an iterative deconvolution method for radio and hard-X-ray solar imaging. In a specific step of its pipeline, CLEAN requires the convolution between an idealized version of the instrumental point-spread function (PSF), and a map collecting point

High-resolution x-ray telescopes

open access: yes, 2010
High-energy astrophysics is a relatively young scientific field, made possible by space-borne telescopes. During the half-century history of x-ray astronomy, the sensitivity of focusing x-ray telescopes-through finer angular resolution and increased ...

A Monte Carlo Simulation for the X-ray Detection Efficiency of a Multi-Cell Proportional Counter [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1998
The X-ray astronomy team of the Korea Astronomy Observatory (KAO) is planning to develop a multi-cell proportional counter, adopting an anti-coincidence method to reduce its internal background. We have developed a Monte Carlo code to determine the X-ray

Illuminating the Incidence of Extraplanar Dust Using Ultraviolet Reflection Nebulae with GALEX

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Circumgalactic dust grains trace the circulation of mass and metals between star-forming regions and gaseous galactic halos, giving insight into feedback and tidal stripping processes.

An Overview of X-Ray Polarimetry of Astronomical Sources

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
We review the history of astronomical X-ray polarimetry based on the author’s perspective, beginning with early sounding-rocket experiments by Robert Novick at Columbia University and his team, of which the author was a member.

Investigating Time Variability of X-Ray Absorption in Swift GRBs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The existence of excess absorption in the X-ray spectra of GRBs is well known, but the primary location of the absorbing material is still uncertain. To gain more knowledge about this, we have performed a time-resolved analysis of the X-ray spectra of ...
