   Abstract : Polarisation of X-ray light is being investigated with polarimeters to extend the borders of what can be observed. Distant compact objects, such as pulsars, that are to small on the sky to be analysed with imaging can be investigated by analysing the polarisation of the emitted light. This can reveal physics previously hidden by their small nature. READ MORE

3. 2. Waveform discrimination analysis applied to PoGOLino data

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Victor Sedin; [2013]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : PoGOLite (Polarised Gamma-Ray Observer Lite) is a balloon borne experiment meant to measure the polarisation of the electromagnetic radiation from specic astrophysical objects. The main target of interest for PoGOLite is the Crab pulsar. A considerable particle background was recorded during the short flight of PoGOLite in July 2011. READ MORE
