Presentation details

» 40 years of Astronomical X-Ray Optics in the Czech Republic

Presentation duration: 30 minutes

Presenter: Rene Hudec

I will shortly introduce the past, recent and planned efforts in the field of astronomical X-ray optics in the Czech Republic. The development of our astronomical X-ray optics started in 1969 and first X-ray mirror was constructed in 1970 as a small aperture (50 mm) Wolter system for X-ray imaging of the Sun. Later 8 space experiments with Czech X-ray optics were flown in space. Recent efforts focus on very wide-field X-ray optics and on development of novel technologies for future X-ray telescopes.
