The International X-ray Observatory [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010 The International X-ray Observatory (IXO) is a joint ESA-JAXA-NASA effort to address fundamental and timely questions in astrophysics: What happens close to a black hole? How did supermassive black holes grow? How does large scale structure form? What is the connection between these processes? To address these questions IXO will employ optics with 3 sq

The effect of proton damage on the X-ray spectral response of MOS CCDs for the swift X-ray telescope [PDF]
, 2002 The effect of non-ionising energy loss(NIEL) of protons in charge-coupled devices is to displace silicon atoms and any dopant materials present from their lattice positions to form lattice defects which in turn can trap electrons [1].

LOFT: THE LARGE OBSERVATORY FOR X-RAY TIMING [PDF]
The Thirteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, 2015 LOFT, the large observatory for X-ray timing, was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) in February 2011 as one of four medium size mission concepts for the Cosmic Vision program that will compete for a launch opportunity in the early 2020s. LOFT will carry out high-time resolution (10 μs) and spectroscopic observations (<260 eV) of compact ...

LOFT: Large Observatory For X-Ray Timing [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 AbstractHigh-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, black-hole masses and spins, and the equation of state of ultra-dense matter. LOFT, the Large Observatory for Xray Timing, is specifically designed to study the very rapid X-ray flux and spectral variability that directly probe the motion ...

Optically and x-ray selected galaxy groups at intermediate redshift [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis I present the properties of two samples of galaxy groups containing 39 high quality X-ray selected systems and 38 optically (spectroscopically) selected systems in coincident spatial regions at 0 ...

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory [PDF]
, 2006 We present here an overview of the status of the Chandra X-ray Observatory which has nowbeen operating forfive years.The Observatory is running smoothly, and the scientific return continues to be outstanding. We provide some details on the molecular contamination of the ACIS fillters and its impact on observations.

Quantitative chemical analysis of pickling solutions by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry
, 2007 A quantitative analytical method of chlorine and iron in hydrochloric pickling solutions by x-ray spectrometry in atmospheric He mode is proposed. This work is concerned with the replacement of the wet chemical analyses of pickling solutions with rapid ...
