GRBs and Lobster Eye X-Ray Telescopes [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2013 A large majority of GRBs exhibit X-ray emission. In addition, a dedicated separate group of GRB, the XRFs, exists which emission dominates in the X-ray spectral range. And the third group of GRB related objects (yet hypothetical) are the group of off-axis observed GRBs (orphan afterglows).

Optimization of grazing incidence mirrors and its application to surveying X-ray telescopes
, 2001 Grazing incidence mirrors for X-ray astronomy are usually designed in the parabola-hyperbola (Wolter I) configuration. This design allows for optimal images on-axis, which however degrade rapidly with the off-axis angle.

Selective vignetting of Type 1 X-ray telescopes [PDF]
, 1969 Selective vignetting technique optimizes the performance of a Type 1 X-ray telescope. The image quality of the telescope system is improved by matching the detector to the optimum focal surface and by vignetting rays which formerly contributed to the ...
