Issue Date: | 2018 | Volume: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Editors: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Nikzad, Shouleh; Nakazawa, Kazuhiro | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10699 | First Page: | 106995B | Abstract: | The Gas Pixel Detector (GPD) is an X-ray polarimeter that exploits the photoelectric effect to measure the polarization and to obtain the image of astrophysical sources. This detector is on board the IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) mission selected by NASA in the framework of the Explorer program scheduled for the launch in 2021. We report on tests carried out with a laboratory prototype of the GPD to verify the performance as a function of the temperature in a large temperature range between 15°C and 40°C. | Note: | SPIE grants to authors (and their employers) of papers, posters, and presentation recordings published in SPIE Proceedings or SPIE Journals on the SPIE Digital Library the right to post an author-prepared version or an official version (preferred version) of the published paper, poster, or presentation recording on an internal or external repository controlled exclusively by the author/employer, or the entity funding the research, provided that (a) such posting is noncommercial in nature and the paper, poster, or presentation recording is made available to users without charge; (b) an appropriate copyright notice and citation appear with the paper, poster, or presentation recording; and (c) a link to SPIE’s official online version of the paper, poster, or presentation recording is provided using the DOI (Document Object Identifier) link.
