Can I read The Broad Band X-Ray Telescope on EtoBox?

The Broad Band X-Ray Telescope by R. Petre; P. J. Serlemitsos is a Physics and Astronomy article available to read on EtoBox.

What is The Broad Band X-Ray Telescope about?

The Broad-Band X-Ray Telescope (BBXRT) has been designed to perform high sensitivity, moderate resolution spectrophotometry of X-ray sources in the 0.3-12 keV band from the Shuttle. It consists of a coaligned pair of high throughput, conical X-ray imaging mirrors, with a cryogenically-cooled, multiple element, Si(Li) spectrometer at the focus of each. On axis, BBXRT will have an effective area of 580 cm 2 at 2 keV and 250 cm 2 at 7 keV, and a spectral resolution of 110 eV at 2 keV and 150 eV at 7 keV. A i04 s observation with BBXRT will allow a determination of the continuum spectral shape for sources near the Einstein deep survey limit.

Who reads The Broad Band X-Ray Telescope?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Physics and Astronomy.
