2 Overview Imaging: Telescopes and mirrors Spectroscopy: Grating

5 Passive collimators Shield Shield Mechanical collimator (e.g., rectangular tubes) Angular resolution is very poor (about 1 ) Flux limit is erg cm-2 s-1 (probability of 5% to have 2nd source in the FOV) Frequently used also for gamma-rays Detector

13 coded mask imaging measured parameters : x,y: int. location on the detector E : energy deposited t : arrival time astronomy : encoding of a two dimensional source distribution (i,j) into a 2-D dataspace (k,l) for sources at finite distance (nuclear medicine, tomography of X-ray emitting plasmas) coded mask techniques can be used to extract depth information for volumetric object reconstruction.
14 Field of view characteristics of a coded mask instrument Good simultaneous measurement of background and source Large field of view Bad Limited range of spatial frequencies (bad for diffuse emission and for small sources) Detector background contributing significantly
15 Advantages of focusing optics versus direct-view detectors B =background flux, Tint = integration time, E = integration bandwidth Moreover: much better imaging capabilities!
16 Focusing X/gamma-Rays
17 Simulation of two sources in a Einstein field as seen by a direct view detector With the direct view detector the second weak sources is lost in the background

25 X-ray mirrors with parabolic profile y x y2 = 2 p x p = 2 * dist. focus-vertex perfect on-axis focusing off-axis images strongly affected by coma
26 The Abbe sine condition to have coma-free focusing mirrors Coma off-axis aberration Coma free mirrors must satisfy the Abbe sine condition: The surface defined by the intersection of each input ray with its corresponding output ray (principal or Abbe surface) must be a sphere around the image, i.e.: h1 h2 const. sin 1 sin 2
27 Parabolic mirrors & the Abbe sine condition The parabolic profile approximately obeys to the Abbe rule only near the vertex, i.e. at normal incidence but not for grazing incidence angles the parabolic geometry is not optimal for X-ray telescopes
28 Wolter s solution to the X-ray imaging H. Wolter, Ann. Der Phys., NY10,94
29 The Wolter I mirror profile for X-ray astronomy applications it guarantees the minimum focal length for a given aperture it allows us to nest together many confocal mirror shells Effective Area: 8 F L 2 Refl.2 F= focal length = R / tan 4 = on-axis incidence angle R = aperture radius L=mirror height
30 The Abbe condition and the Wolter I mirror profile Spherical aberration term rms 0.2 tan tan 2 L 2 4 tan tan F rms = rms blur circle = incidence angle F= focal length = off-axis angle L = mirror height NOTE: 2 L r the optimal focal plane is not flat: flat 2 1 F tan 2 Residual coma term r = focal plane radius
31 Alternative profiles derived from Wolter I Wolter-Schwarzschild profile: it exactly satisfies the Abbe sine condition and it has been adopted for the Einstein mirrors; is coma free but it strongly affected by spherical aberration double-cone profile: it better approximates the Wolter I at small reflection angles: It is utilized for practical reasons (cost + effective area). polynomial profile: parameters have been specifically optimized to maintain the same HEW in a wide field of view (introducing small aberration on-axis the off-axis imaging behavior is improved same principle of the Ritchey-Chretien normal-incidence telescope in the optical band)
32 Kirpatrick-Baez Telescopes parabolic-profile curved mirrors in just one direction to focus a beam in a single point another identical mirror has to be orthogonally placed with respect to the first one; it is possible to nest many confocal mirrors to increase the effective area; compared to a Wolter I system with same focal length and same incidence angle (onaxis), angles are two time larger; imaging capabilities result to be limited by some inherent aberration; NB: by means of a K-B optics was performed the first successful attempt of the focalization of an X-ray beam in total-reflection regime (1948)
33 Lobster-Eye optics system similar to spherical normal-incidence mirrors but, in this case, the beam impinges on the convex part of the entrance pupil; the pupil is formed by a system of channels with square section uniformly distributed around a spherical surface of radius R. To be focused in a single point a collimated beam has to sustain the reflection by two orthogonal walls of a same channel; the photons are focused onto points distributed on a spherical surface of radius R/2; a preferential optical axis does not exist the system field of view can be in principle as large as 4 p with the same Effective Area for every direction
34 Manufacturing techniques utilized so far 1. Classical precision optical polishing and grinding Projects: Einstein, Rosat, Chandra Advantages: superb angular resolution Drawbacks: high mirror walls small number of nested Credits: NASA mirror shells, high mass, high cost process 2. Replication Projects: EXOSAT, SAX, JET-X/Swift, XMM, ABRIXAS ( Credits: ESA examples follow hereafter) Advantages: good angular resolution, high mirror nesting the same mandrels for many modules Drawbacks: relatively high cost process; high mass/geom. area ratio (if Ni is used). 3. Thin foil mirrors Projects: BBXRT, ASCA, SODART, ASTRO-E Advantages: high mirror nesting possibility, low mass/geom. area ratio (the foils are made of Al), cheap process Drawbacks: until now low imaging resolutions (1-3 arcmin) Credits: ISAS
35 Present Astronomical optics technologies: HEW Vs Mass/geometrical area
36 Replication methods Ni electroforming replication (SAX, JET-X/Swift, XMM, ABRIXAS, erosita, SIMBOL-X, SVOM/XIAO) epoxy replication: EXOSAT (Be), WFXT (Alumina & SiC prototypes), EDGE/XENIA?

47 Hard X-ray Focusing by mosaic crystals Bragg diffraction from a crystal lattice reflectivity peaks at: 2 d sin = n d typical value of a few Angstroms mosaic crystals: at microscopic level a structure of microcrystals almostparallel to the external crystal surface. The distribution of the crystallites normals is described by a Gaussian law each crystallite reflects in an independent way (without any interferometric coupling with the beams reflected from the other crystallites) the integrated reflectivity results to be much larger (>100) than for a perfect crystal case

49 Why crystal diffraction for high energy telescopes Focusing optics in the hard X-/soft gammaray band is crucial for a significant leap The hard X-ray band (E<80 kev) can be covered with multilayer mirrors (NuStar, NeXT, Simbol-X). The higher energy band (>80 kev) can be efficiently covered with Laue lenses. GRI concept
