Development of a critical-angle transmission grating spectrometer for the International X-Ray Observatory

We present a high-resolution soft x-ray grating spectrometer concept for the International X-Ray Observatory (IXO) that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements for effective area (> 1, 000 cm[superscript 2] for E < 1 keV) and spectral resolution (E/[open triangle]E > 3, 000). At the heart...
