| Title: |
The Pinhole/Occulter Facility
|
| Author(s): |
Hudson, Hugh S.; Davis, John M.

| Abstract: |
To image X-radiation efficiently at energies above about 10 keV requires the use of 'shadow optics' techniques. The Pinhole/Occulter Facility (P/OF) represents an application of these techniques for observations in high-energy astrophysics, especially the study of solar coronal activity in hard X-rays and gamma rays. P/OF will achieve angular resolutions on the order of 0.2 arcsec for an instrument deployment length of 50 m. Because of this large structural scale, P/OF has been proposed as an attached payload for the Space Station. Meanwhile, several smaller-scale instruments are being developed.
