The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission

Neil Gehrels, +77 more
TL;DR: The Swift mission as discussed by the authors is a multi-wavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy, which is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite for transient astronomy and pioneers the way for future rapid-reaction and multiwavelength missions.

Advanced CCD imaging spectrometer (ACIS) instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory

TL;DR: The ACIS instrument has been operating for three years in orbit, producing high quality scientific data on a wide variety of X-ray emitting astronomical objects, except for a brief period at the very beginning of the mission when the CCDs were exposed to the radiation environment of the Outer van Allen Belts which resulted in substantial radiation damage to the front illuminated CCD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chandra X-ray Spectroscopic Imaging of Sgr A* and the Central Parsec of the Galaxy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained the first high-spatial-resolution (~1 arcsec), hard X-ray (0.5-7 keV) image of the central 40 pc (17 arcmin) of the Milky Way Galaxy and have discovered an Xray source, CXOGC J174540.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of the performance and scientific results from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO)

TL;DR: The Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) as discussed by the authors is the x-ray component of NASA's Great Observatories and was launched on 1999, July 23 by the Space Shuttle Columbia.
