内容記述 | The Space Shuttle-launched sounding rocket Spartan-1 will map the structure of two extended X-ray sources: the hot gas pervading the Perseus cluster of galaxies, and the central core of the Milky Way. Spartan-1 contains two large X-ray proportional counter detectors sensitive to the 1-15 A wavelength range. A new generation of instruments destined for X-ray telescope focal planes will yield high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, over observation times sometimes exceeding one day/source, in the course of a long-term Spartan research program that will encompass planetary, solar, and UV astronomy missions. |
