Novel X-ray imaging instrumentation for astrophysics
Original language description
The recent progress in innovative X-ray imaging instrumentation for astrophysics is briefly discussed. The capabilities of the novel instrumentation for investigating celestial X-ray sources are also discussed, along with recent technological progress. We have developed and tested advanced novel Kirkpatrick Baez, Lobster-Eye (LE), and Hybrid X-ray optics mirror technologies, including the calibration and testing of the ongoing developments of this optic. We presented the possibilities of monitoring the objects in the Galactic center region in the soft X-ray energy band by a small LE telescope on a CubeSat-like satellite platform. Even some instruments not designed for astronomy are suitable for investigating the X-ray activity of cosmic sources. E.g., a Soft Xray Imager (SXI) (LE telescope observing in a soft X-ray band) onboard the ESA-CAS satellite SMILE (designed for X-ray imaging of solar wind Charge eXchange of the magnetosheath and the cusps) is also essential for astrophysics because it is able to provide wide-field imaging of the sky in the soft X-ray region and can be used for investigating the activity of cosmic X-ray sources.
