X-ray interferometry with transmissive beam combiners for ultra-high angular resolution astronomy
Interferometry provides one of the possible routes to ultra-high angular resolution for X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. Sub-micro-arc-second angular resolution, necessary to achieve objectives such as imaging the regions around the event horizon of a super-massive black hole at the center of an active galaxy, can be achieved if beams from parts of the incoming wavefront separated by 100s of mete...
متن کاملX-ray Interferometry: Ultra High Resolution Astronomy
X-rays have tremendous potential for imaging at the highest angular resolution. The high surface brightness of many xray sources will reveal angular scales heretofore thought unreachable. The short wavelengths make instrumentation compact and baselines short. We discuss how practical x-ray interferometers can be built for astronomy using existing technology. We describe the Maxim Pathfinder and...
متن کاملHigh data rate transmission in high resolution radio astronomy - vlbiGRID
Recent developments in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) radio astronomy are aimed at improving reliability and reducing the cost of operations by moving from a custom made tape based system to using exchangeable disks in PCs. The advent of the iGRID 2002 exhibition in September 2002 with the availability of high data rate international links gave us the opportunity to try transferring t...
متن کاملStar Formation at High Angular Resolution
The role of the SKA in high resolution observations of the formation of low and high mass stars in the Galaxy is examined. The large collecting area will have a large impact on dynamical studies at high resolution using spectral lines. The SKA will allow dramatic progress in the investigation of the ionised, atomic and molecular phases over a range of evolutionary stages. Attention is focused h...
متن کاملMillisecond dips in the RXTE/PCA light curve of Sco X-1 and TNO occultation
Millisecond dips in the RXTE/PCA light curve of Sco X-1 were reported recently (Chang et al. 2006), which were interpreted as the occultation of X-rays from Sco X-1 caused by Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO) of hundred-meter size. Inconclusive signatures of possible instrumental effects in many of these dip events related to highenergy cosmic rays were later found (Jones et al. 2006) and the TNO i...
