Characterization of a lobster-eye type X-ray telescope [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
Lobster-eye type X-ray telescopes use reflecting plano mirrors under grazing incidence and can observe a large field of view. As part of a Bavarian-Czech cooperation, two telescopes were build, equipped with mirrors coated with gold and iridium.

The Swift X-Ray Telescope

Space Science Reviews, 2005
The Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer is designed to make prompt multiwavelength observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and GRB afterglows. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) enables Swift to determine GRB positions with a few arcseconds accuracy within 100 seconds of the burst onset.

Multilayer Mirror Based High-Resolution Solar Soft X-Ray Spectrometer

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Soft X-ray spectroscopy of the Sun is an important tool to understand the coronal dynamics and composition. The solar coronal X-ray spectrum below 1 keV is the least explored with high-resolution spectroscopy.

The X-Ray Telescope onboard Suzaku [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2007
Abstract We present the design parameters, production process, and in-flight performance of the X-ray telescope (XRT) onboard Suzaku. The imaging capability is significantly improved over the ASCA XRT, which had half-power diameters of ${3\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm {\prime }}6}$, to ${1\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm {\prime }}8}$–${2\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm

InFOCμS Hard X-ray Imaging Telescope [PDF]

Experimental Astronomy, 2006
InFOCμS is a new generation balloon-borne hard X-ray telescope with focusing optics and spectroscopy. We had a successful 22.5-hour flight from Fort Sumner, NM on September 16,17, 2004. In this paper, we present the performance of the hard X-ray telescope, which consists of a depth-graded platinum/carbon multilayer mirror and a CdZnTe detector.
