Broad-Band Soft X-ray Polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Herman L. Marshall, Ralf Heilmann, Norbert Schulz, Kendrah Murphy, | Summary: We developed an instrument design capable of measuring linear X-ray polarization over a broad-band using conventional spectroscopic optics. A set of multilayer-coated flats reflects the dispersed X-rays to the instrument detectors. The intensity variation with position […]

Structure and Evolution of Pre-Main Sequence Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz, Claude C. Canizares, John Davis | Summary: Low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are strong and variable X-ray emitters, as has been well established by EINSTEIN and ROSAT observatories. It was originally believed that this emission was of thermal nature […]
