Issue Date: | 2017 | Volume: | Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy VIII | Editors: | O'Dell, Stephen L.; Pareschi, Giovanni | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10399 | First Page: | 103990B | Abstract: | The work on the definition and technological preparation of the ATHENA (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics) mission continues to progress. In parallel to the study of the accommodation of the telescope, many aspects of the X-ray optics are being evolved further. The optics technology chosen for ATHENA is the Silicon Pore Optics (SPO), which hinges on technology spin-in from the semiconductor industry, and uses a modular approach to produce large effective area lightweight telescope optics with a good angular resolution. Both system studies and the technology developments are guided by ESA and implemented in industry, with participation of institutional partners. In this paper an overview of the current status of the telescope optics accommodation and technology development activities is provided. | Acknowledgments: | The work presented in this paper was accomplished in a collaborative effort, involving many individuals, companies and institutions. All these contributions are greatly appreciated by the authors. | Conference Name: | Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy VIII | Conference Place: | San Diego, California | Conference Date: | 6-10 August, 2017 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30485 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10399/103990B/The-ATHENA-telescope-and-optics-status/10.1117/12.2274776.short | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510612556 9781510612563 |
