Invited Review Article: The Chandra X-ray Observatory

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2014
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is an orbiting x-ray telescope facility. It is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's four “Great Observatories” that collectively have carried out astronomical observations covering the infrared through gamma-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Advanced X-Ray Observatories

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1972
Since the discovery of the first X-ray sources in 1962 by the use of modest instruments flown on sounding rockets Giacconi et al. (1962), observations of cosmic X-rays have continued to provide a steady flow of information that has affected our view of virtually all astronomical phenomena.

Europe Lofts X-ray Observatory

Science, 1999
SPACETo the relief and delight of engineers and x-ray astronomers, Europe's new space workhorse, the Ariane 5 launcher, deposited a $640 million x-ray observatory into orbit on 10 December. If all goes well, the European Space Agency's X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission will capture images of very distant sources of fluctuating x-rays, such as those produced ...

Enhancing the International X-ray Observatory

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
Over the last two years, we have studied system concepts for the International X-ray Observatory (IXO) with the goal of increasing the science return of the mission and to reduce technical and cost risk. We have developed an optical bench concept that has the potential to increase the focal length from 20 to 25 m within the current mass and stability

The Lunar X-ray Observatory (LXO)

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
X-ray emission from charge exchange recombination between the highly ionized solar wind and neutral material i n Earth's magnetosheath has complicated x-ray observations of celestial objects with x-ray observatories including ROSAT, Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku. However, the charge-exchange emission can also be used as an important diagnostic of the

AXPs and X-ray-dim isolated neutron stars: recent XMM-Newton and Chandra results

, 2003
To date more than half a dozen X-ray-dim isolated neutron stars are known. Their X-ray spectra are characterized by soft blackbody-like emission (kT∼50–120 eV) without indication for harder, non-thermal components.
