Development of off-plane gratings for WHIMex and IXO
Future X-ray astronomical missions will need to address a number of important goals such as studying the dynamics of clusters of galaxies, determining how elements are created in the explosions of massive stars, and revealing most of the “normal” matter in the universe which is currently thought to be hidden in hot filaments of gas stretching between galaxies. In order to achieve these goals, s...
متن کاملNumerical optimization of spherical variable-line-spacing grating X-ray spectrometers
Operation of an X-ray spectrometer based on a spherical variable-line-spacing (VLS) grating is analyzed using dedicated ray-tracing software allowing fast optimization of the grating parameters and spectrometer geometry. The analysis is illustrated with optical design of a model spectrometer to deliver a resolving power above 20400 at a photon energy of 930 eV (Cu L-edge). With this energy take...
متن کاملDesign of a transmission grating spectrometer and an undulator beamline for soft x-ray emission studies
A soft x-ray undulator beamline and an x-ray emission spectrometer have been designed for soft x-ray emission studies. The beamline has a varied-line-spacing plane grating monochromator, which enables the energy resolution over 10 with a beam size down to 10 × 60 μm. The x-ray emission spectrometer has a Wolter type I mirror, a free-standing transmission grating, and a back-illuminated CCD. A h...

We report the results of two Chandra X-ray Observatory High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer observations, made shortly after peak X-ray luminosity during the May, 2000 outburst of galactic microquasar XTE J1550−564. The observations were separated by 2.5 days. Nearly simultaneous observations were made with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We constrain the X-ray continuum emission in t...
