Abstract

With a number of upcoming spaceborne and ground-based observatories equipped with X-ray telescopes that rely on high throughput at low energies, it is crucial to characterize these optics at the relevant energies to obtain a detailed understanding of their behavior and performance. DTU Space has commissioned a state-of-the-art Low-Energy X-ray Reflectometer (LEXR) with the purpose of studying thin-film performance of especially low-Z X-ray coatings.
