I-XPoSat: I-ISRO isungula indawo yesibini yehlabathi ye-X-ray Polarimetry Space Observatory  

ISRO isungule ngempumelelo i-XPoSat yesathelayithi eyesibini yehlabathi 'X-reyi Polarimetry isithuba Indawo yokujonga'. Oku kuya kwenza uphando kwi isithuba-imilinganiselo yepolarization esekelwe kwi-X-reyi ephuma kwimithombo eyahlukeneyo ye-cosmic. Ngaphambili, NASA wayethumele i-'Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)' kwi isithuba ngo-2021 ngeenjongo ezifanayo. X-reyi Polarimetry isithuba Amaziko oqwalaselo alinganisa isixa kunye necala lokwahlulwahlulwa kwee-X-reyi ezingenayo ezivela kwimizimba yecosmic kunye sisebenza njengesixhobo esikhethekileyo sokufunda imithetho yendalo kwiimeko ezimandundu.  

Indian isithuba Umbutho woPhando (ISRO) isungule ngempumelelo i-XPoSat, i-'X-ray Polarimetry Observatory'. Yenzelwe ukwenza uphando kwi isithuba-esekelwe kwipolarization kunye nemilinganiselo ye-spectroscopic yokukhutshwa kwe-X-ray kwimithombo ye-cosmic.  

Ithwala imithwalo emibini eyi-POLIX (i-Polarimeter Instrument kwi-X-reyi) kunye ne-XSPECT (i-X-reyi Spectroscopy kunye ne-Timing). Ngelixa i-POLIX iza kulinganisa i-polarization ye-X-reyi kwibhendi yamandla eyi-8-30keV ephuma malunga nemithombo engama-50 enokubakho ye-cosmic ngokusebenzisa i-Thomson Scattering, umthwalo we-XSPECT uya kuqhuba izifundo zexesha elide ze-spectral nezexeshana zemithombo ye-X-reyi ye-cosmic kwibhendi yamandla 0.8 -15ke.  

Ii-NASA's Ukufanekisa i-X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) iqaliswe kwi isithuba nge-9 kaDisemba 2021 yaba yiPolarimetry yokuqala yeX-reyi isithuba Indawo yokujonga. Ukusukela oko yasungulwa, ibe negalelo kuphando oluninzi ngokufunda i-polarization ye-X-reyi kwiintlobo ezininzi zezinto zasezulwini ezinje ngeentsalela zogqabhuko-dubulo lwe-supernova, imijelo yamasuntswana anamandla atshica ngokutyisa. imingxunya emnyama, Njl  

X-reyi Polarimetry isithuba Amaziko oqwalaselo alinganisa isixa kunye necala le-polarization ye-X-reyi engenayo evela kwimizimba ye-cosmic. 

Ekubeni ukukhanya kwepolarized kuthwala iinkcukacha ezizodwa malunga nomthombo kunye nephakathi elidlule kuyo, i-X-ray Polarimetry isithuba Iindawo zokujonga izinto ezifana ne-IXPE kunye ne-XPoSat zisebenza njengesixhobo esisodwa sokufunda imithetho yendalo kwiimeko ezimandundu.
