In-flight calibration system of imaging x-ray polarimetry explorer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 2020
The NASA/ASI Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, which will be launched in 2021, will be the first instrument to perform spatially resolved X-ray polarimetry on several astronomical sources in the 2-8 keV energy band. These measurements are made possible

X-ray polarimetry — A novel application of CCDs

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1996
Abstract A new method of X-ray polarimetry based on measuring the photoelectron emission direction in a finely segmented MOS CCD has been established using monochromatic synchrotron radiation and planar channeling radiation. For the smallest pixel dimensions (6.8 × 6.8 μm 2 ) available today in commercial optical CCD cameras an analyzing power for ...

Stellar X-ray polarimetry

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1993
Stellar X-ray polarimetry has for a long time been indicated as a very powerful diagnostic tool. In spite of this widely recognised interest, positive results are limited to just one: the detection, in the now far 1978, of the polarisation of the X-ray emission from the Crab Nebula. Novel-generation experiments promise a wider and richer amount mess of

Hard x-ray polarimetry with EXIST

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
The Energetic X-ray Survey Telesccope (EXIST) is under study for the propsed Black Hole Finder Probe, one of the three Einstein Probe missions in NASA's proposed Beyond Einstein Program. EXIST would have the capability to survey the full sky at 5-600 keV and enable black holes to be surveyed and studied on all scales.

X-ray polarimetry with phase plates

Review of Scientific Instruments, 1995
Diamond crystals were used as quarter-wave plates (QWPs) and half-wave plates (HWPs) to produce and completely analyze circular and vertical linear polarization of monochromatic x rays from an undulator source (ID10) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

Programs of X-ray polarimetry in Italy

2010
Programs of X-ray polarimetry in Italy arise from the convergence of a long experience of X-ray astronomy missions with an outstanding tradition in development of radiation detectors. The gas pixel detector in the focus of X-ray optics can perform angular-resolved polarimetry with a breakthrough improvement in sensitivity, even with a moderate ...

X-RAY POLARIMETRY OF AGNS WITH SXRP

1993
The capability of the Stellar X-ray Polarimeter, a focal plane instrument of the SODART telescope, to detect linear polarization in the X-ray emission of some bright AGNs is examined.
