A negative ion time projection chamber x-ray polarimeter for transient sources

TL;DR: A gamma-ray burst polarimeter (GRBP) was developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for measuring the Xray polarization of energetic transients in the 2 - 10 keV energy range as mentioned in this paper.

Prompt and afterglow early X-ray phases in the comoving frame. Evidence for Universal properties?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the Swift XRT light curves and spectra of seven gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which the redshift has been measured and found that the energy of the afterglow emitted in the (rest frame) time interval 20-200 s and 1300-12600 s after the trigger correlates with the mean energy of prompt emission, hinting at a close link between the two.

Simulation of the flight experience of the ACIS CCDs on the Chandra X-ray Observatory

TL;DR: The energy resolution degradation of the ACIS CCDs on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory has been under investigation since the effect was first recognized two months after launch as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling the spectral response of the Swift-XRT CCD camera: Experience learnt from in-flight calibration

TL;DR: In this paper, the XRT spectral response calibration was complicated by various energy offsets in photon counting (PC) and windowed timing (WT) modes related to the way the CCD is operated in orbit (variation in temperature during observations, contamination by optical light from the sunlit Earth and increase in charge transfer inefficiency).
