SODART telescopes on the Spectrum X-Gamma (SRG) and their complement of instruments
Abstract
Two SODART thin foil X-ray telescopes will fly on SRG. In the focal plane of one telescope there are: HEPC/LEPC (high- and low energy imaging proportional counters), SIXA (solid state spectrometer array), and FRD (focal plane X-ray detector). In the other, there are: another HEPC/LEPC pair, SXRP (stellar X-ray polarimeter), and another FRD. Mounted alongside and co-aligned with the SODART telescopes is TAUVEX (UV telescope). An objective Bragg spectrometer is mounted in front of one of the telescopes. These instruments and their scientific goals will be described briefly. More detailed discussions will be given by the relevant PIs in the poster session.
