چکیده

Resolve onboard the x-ray satellite X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is a cryogenic instrument with an microcalorimeter in Dewar. A lid partially transparent to x-rays (called gate valve or GV) installed at top of Dewar along optical axis. Because observations will be made through GV for first few months, transmission calibration crucial initial scientific outcomes. We present results our ground campaign GV, which composed Be window stainless steel mesh. For mesh, we measured its using beamline ISAS. window, used synchrotron facilities measure modeled data (i) photoelectric absorption incoherent scattering Be, (ii) contaminants, (iii) coherent changing specific energies. discuss physical interpretation discontinuity caused by Bragg diffraction polycrystal incorporated into phenomenological model. measurement on sample support interpretation. The measurements constructed model meet requirements GV. also performed spectral fitting Crab nebula observed Hitomi SXS confirmed improvements parameters.

A Modulated X-ray Source Controller for the In-Flight Calibration of X-Ray Astronomy Payloads

We designed and built a controller for a modulated X-ray source (MXS) that can be used to calibrate X-ray detecting instruments. This source has three adjustable inputs: the voltage supplied to an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED), a high voltage supplied to an electron multiplier, and a high voltage to accelerate electrons towards an elemental target. The controller provides both a gra...

Phase Fresnel Lens Development for X-ray & Gamma-ray Astronomy

Observations in the hard X-ray and gammaray energy regimes are constrained by limited sensitivity and angular resolution. Significant gains could be made if these high-energy photons could be concentrated from a large area onto a small detector element and if diffraction-limited measurements could be obtained. Furthermore, the angular resolution in the gamma-ray band would be superior to that p...

Fresnel lenses for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy

Phase Fresnel lenses have the same imaging properties as zone plates, but with the possibility of concentrating all of the incident power into the primary focus, increasing the maximum theoretical efficiency from 11% to close to 100%. For X-rays, and in particular for gamma-rays, large, diffraction-limited phase Fresnel lenses can be made relatively easily. The focal length is very long for exa...

Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries

In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
