While initially intended for simulating synchrotron beamlines, it has recently found use in astrophysics. Here it is being used to evaluate the projected performance of X-ray telescope designs. We present the software add-on toolbox "AstroX" to McXtrace containing all of the common optical elements found in satellite based X-ray telescopes. In addition, the toolbox contains detector and source models relevant for astronomical applications. As an added benefit, users may exploit the heritage of McXtrace and use its beamline elements, to simulate characterization measurements of optical elements. McXtrace AstroX allows for simulation of X-rays telescopes based on different optical concepts such as nested mirror shells and Silicon Pore Optics technology. In this study we present examples of McXtrace AstroX use for ATHENA-, and NuSTAR-like telescope concepts. | Titolo del convegno: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2018: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Luogo del convegno: | Austin, Texas, United States | Periodo del convegno: | 10-15 June, 2018 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27797 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10699/2312272/The-McXtrace-AstroX-toolbox--a-general-ray-tracing-software/10.1117/12.2312272.short | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510619517 9781510619524 |
