XIPE: the x-ray imaging polarimetry explorer

P. Soffitta, +421 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: The X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE) as discussed by the authors is a mission dedicated to Xray Astronomy which is in a competitive phase A as fourth medium size mission of ESA (M4).
Proceedings ArticleDOI

eXTP -- enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry Mission

TL;DR: eXTP as discussed by the authors is a science mission designed to study the state of matter under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism, which carries a unique and unprecedented suite of state-of-the-art scientific instruments enabling for the first time ever the simultaneous spectral-timing-polarimetry studies of cosmic sources in the energy range from 0.5-30 keV.

Glass Mirrors by cold slumping to cover 100 m 2 of the MAGIC II Cherenkov telescope reflecting surface

TL;DR: The MAGIC II as discussed by the authors is a clone of the atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC I with a single-dish 17 m diameter mirror, which is already operating since late 2003 at La Palma.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Lynx Mission Concept Status

TL;DR: Lynx as discussed by the authors is a concept under study for prioritization in the 2020 Astrophysics Decadal Survey, which will examine the first black holes and their galaxies, map the large-scale structure and galactic halos, and shed new light on the environments of young stars and their planetary systems.
