Orthogonal Mirror Telescopes for X-ray Astronomy

Applied Optics, 1971
Crossed mirror telescopes are presented as an alternative to the present telescope systems used in x-ray astronomy. These instruments generally have a higher x-ray collecting efficiency but a poorer angular resolution than the more conventional paraboloid-hyperboloid telescopes.

Wolter-Schwarzschild Telescopes for X-Ray Astronomy

Applied Optics, 1973
The resolution of a Wolter-Schwarzschild telescope is intrinsically superior to the resolution of the corresponding paraboloid-hyperboloid telescope. The improvement is important for high resolution and wide field telescope designs having grazing angles larger than about 1.5 degrees .

The XEUS x-ray telescope

SPIE Proceedings, 2006
XEUS, the 'X-ray Early Universe Spectroscopy Mission', is a potential candidate for inclusion into the Cosmic Visions 1525 Science Programme of the European Space Agency ESA [1,2]. It is being studied jointly with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA.

Operation of the x-ray telescope eROSITA

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
The X-ray telescope eROSITA is the core instrument besides the Russian ART-XC on the Russian Spektrum-Roentgen- Gamma satellite which will be launched in 2012 to an orbit around the L2 point of the Earth-Sun-system. During both survey and pointing phase the solar panels and the antenna constrain the possible mission scenario.

Supermirror hard-x-ray telescope

Applied Optics, 1998
The practical use of a grazing x-ray telescope is demonstrated for hard-x-ray imaging as hard as 40 keV by means of a depth-graded d-spacing multilayer, a so-called supermirror. Platinum-carbon multilayers of 26 layer pairs in three blocks with a different periodic length d of 3-5 nm were designed to enhance the reflectivity in the energy range from 24

The X-Ray Imaging Telescopes on EXOSAT

Space Science Reviews, 1981
The instrument configuration and performance characteristics of the X-ray imaging telescopes on EXOSAT are described. The instrument comprises two fully independent Wolter I imaging telescopes. Each telescope can be used in either of two principal modes: (i) an imaging mode with either a position sensitive proportional counter or a channel multiplier ...

Development of x-ray mirrors for x-ray telescopes

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
We have been developing X-ray mirrors for X-ray telescope using a ion-beam sputtering system. X-rays can be reflected by two processes, one is total reflection, and another is Bragg reflection. Total reflection is used for previous telescope below 10 keV. Its reflectivity determined by the optical constant. We suggests composite-layer mirror for soft X-

X-ray telescopes

Reports on Progress in Physics, 1985
This review summarises the present knowledge about X-ray reflection from real mirrors, with particular emphasis on X-ray scattering. The mirror configurations for a telescope are presented and their imaging capabilities are discussed. The fabrication techniques and the supporting metrology methods used for the manufacture of highly aspherical telescope
