Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | Adaptive X-Ray Optics IV | Editors: | O'Dell, Stephen L.; Khounsary, Ali M. | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 9965 | First Page: | 996507 | Abstract: | In order to advance significantly scientific objectives, future x-ray astronomy missions will likely call for x-ray telescopes with large aperture areas (≍ 3 m<SUP>2</SUP>) and fine angular resolution (≍ 1<SUP>2</SUP>). Achieving such performance is programmatically and technologically challenging due to the mass and envelope constraints of space-borne telescopes and to the need for densely nested grazing-incidence optics. Such an x-ray telescope will require precision fabrication, alignment, mounting, and assembly of large areas (≍ 600 m2) of lightweight (≍ 2 kg/m<SUP>2</SUP> areal density) high-quality mirrors, at an acceptable cost (≍ 1 M$/m<SUP>2</SUP> of mirror surface area). This paper reviews relevant programmatic and technological issues, as well as possible approaches for addressing these issues-including direct fabrication of monocrystalline silicon mirrors, active (in-space adjustable) figure correction of replicated mirrors, static post-fabrication correction using ion implantation, differential erosion or deposition, and coating-stress manipulation of thin substrates.... | Conference Name: | Adaptive X-Ray Optics IV | Conference Place: | San Diego, California, United States | Conference Date: | 28 August - 1 September, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26343 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9965/1/Toward-large-area-sub-arcsecond-x-ray-telescopes-II/10.1117/12.2238247.short?SSO=1 | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510603226 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.2238247 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016SPIE.9965E..07O | Fulltext: | open |
