Future X-ray timing missions
Thanks to the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), it is now widely recognized that fast X-ray timing can be used to probe strong gravity fields around collapsed objects and constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars. We first discuss some of the outstanding issues which could be solved with an X-ray timing mission building on the great successes of RXTE and providing an or...
متن کاملThe Swift X-ray Telescope
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. The XRT utilizes a mirror set built for JET-X and an XMM-Newton/EPIC MOS CCD detector to provide a sensitive broad-band (0.2-10 ...
متن کاملSMART-X, “Square Meter, Arcsecond Resolution X-ray Telescope”
SMART-X is a mission concept for a 2.3 m2 e ective area, 0.5 ′′ angular resolution X-ray telescope, with 5 ′ FOV, 1 ′′ pixel size microcalorimeter, 22 ′ FOV imager, and high-throughput gratings.
متن کاملEnergetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST)
We have begun to study a mission to carry out the rst high sensitivity imaging survey of the entire sky at hard x-ray energies (5-600 keV). The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) would include 2-4 large area coded aperture telescopes with o set elds of view allowing total exposures of > 500 ksec and ux sensitivities below 1 mCrab over the full sky in a year with time resolution fr...
متن کاملX ? Ray Photon Spectroscopy with the Yohkoh Soft X ? Ray Telescope
Individual X ? ray photons in the keV energy range produce hundreds of photoelectrons in a single pixel of a CCD array detector. The number of photoelectrons produced is a linear function of the photon energy, allowing the measurement of spectral information with an imaging detector system. The Yohkoh Soft X ? ray Telescope uses a CCD in an integrating mode and makes temperature estimates from ...
