... The collecting area is increased by nesting concentric mirror pairs, all having the same focal length. ... Figure shows the largest optical element being ground at HDOS. ... X-ray testing demonstrated that the CXO mirrors are indeed the largest high-resolution X-ray optics ever made; the nominal effective area (based on the ground calibrations) is shown as a function of energy in the left panel of Figure , along with those of their Einstein and ROSAT predecessors. ...

... arfgen (arfgen-1.73.3) [?? ... arfgen simply constructs the appropriate quantities from the CAL, in the form of vectors of discrete energy-dependent elements, and combines these data multiplicatively to form the ancilliary response. ... This is already taken into account by the CAL in the call to CAL_effectiveArea. The user can enable or disable the effective area, filter transmission, QE or grating attenuation by setting the relevant parameter (eg modeleffarea ) to true or false respectively. ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...
