» Reflection Grating Optics
Presentation duration: 20 minutes
Presenter: Webster Cash
We review the need for high resolution spectroscopy on future x-ray astronomy missions. We compare the approaches and conclude that off-plane reflection gratings remain the most capable and robust approach. In particular, we show how off-plane gratings can be used in the International X-ray Observatory without the need for high mass arrays of optics.
