High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Galaxies and Clusters with Axaf
We review the high resolution X–ray spectroscopy capabilities of the AXAF observatory focusing on the High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG). As part of the Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) program, the HETG science team will observe both elliptical galaxies and clusters of galaxies. We discuss the problems associated with observing extended sources with the HETG and some of the potential sci...
متن کاملHigh-resolution X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
In this review, high-resolution X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy will be discussed. The focus is on the 3d transition-metal systems. To understand high-resolution X-ray emission and resonant X-ray emission, it is first necessary to spend some time discussing the X-ray absorption process. Section II discusses 1s X-ray absorption, i.e., the K edges, and section III deals with 2p X...
متن کاملHigh-resolution X-ray fluorescence and excitation spectroscopy of metalloproteins.
A spectrograph has been developed with sufficient efficiency to make high-resolution fluorescence experiments on metalloproteins possible. The resolution of this spectrometer can reach 0.45 eV at 7.1 keV emission energy. The focus images of this multiple curved-crystal array spectrometer are presented. The chemical sensitivity of Kbeta emission spectra can be used to identify chemical states, a...
متن کاملChandra High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Am Her
We present the results of high resolution spectroscopy of the prototype polar AM Herculis observed with Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating. The X-ray spectrum contains hydrogen-like and helium-like lines of Fe, S, Si, Mg, Ne and O with several Fe L-shell emission lines. The forbidden lines in the spectrum are generally weak whereas the hydrogen-like lines are stronger suggesting that emis...
متن کاملX-ray High Resolution and Imaging Spectroscopy of Supernova Remnants
The launch of Chandra and XMM-Newton has led to important new findings concerning the X-ray emission from supernova remnants. These findings are a result of the high spatial resolution with which imaging spectroscopy is now possible, but also some useful results have come out of the grating spectrometers of both X-ray observatories, despite the extended nature of supernova remnants. The finding...
