The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer

The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer

Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window into the X-ray sky. Prior to launch of IXPE, an extensive calibration campaign was carried out to fully characterize th...
