Support of research in X-ray astronomy
Abstract
Activities described include: (1) the evaluation of CCD detectors for X-ray astronomy applications; (2) contributions to the development of an imaging gas scintillation proportional counter; (3) the evaluation of certain metal oxide crystals as potential radiation detectors; (4) optical observations and searches for X-ray sources discovered by the HEAO-1 A2 experiment; and (5) theoretical modeling of nonequilibrium ionization structure of supernova remnants.
