TL;DR: The International X-ray Observatory (IXO) as mentioned in this paper is designed to conduct spectroscopic, imaging, and timing studies of astrophysical phenomena that take place as near as in the solar system and as far as in early universe.
Journal ArticleDOI
General surface equations for glancing incidence telescopes
TL;DR: A generalized set of equations are derived for two mirror glancing incidence telescopes using Fermat's principle, a differential form of the law of reflection, the generalized sine condition, and a ray propagation equation described in vector form as a theoretical basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in very lightweight optics using graphite fiber composite materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of fiber print-through is overcome by leaving a very thin layer of resin at the surface of the composite, resulting in a very low areal density (,5 kg/m 2 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution, Lightweight, and Low-cost X-Ray Optics for the Lynx Observatory
William W. Zhang,Kim D. Allgood,Michael P. Biskach,Kai-Wing Chan,Michal Hlinka,John D. Kearney,James R. Mazzarella,Ryan S. McClelland,Ai Numata,Raul E. Riveros,Timo T. Saha,Peter M. Solly +11 more
TL;DR: An approach to build an x-ray mirror assembly that can meet Lynx’s requirements of high-angular resolution, large effective area, light weight, short production schedule, and low-production cost is described.

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.
