Toward large-area sub-arcsecond x-ray telescopes II
In order to advance significantly scientific objectives, future x-ray astronomy missions will likely call for x-ray telescopes with large aperture areas (≈3 m[superscript 2]) and fine angular resolution (≈1[superscript 2 ]). Achieving such performance is programmatically and technologically challe...
