ISRO has successfully launched the satellite XPoSat which is world’s second ‘X-ray Polarimetry Nafasi Observatory’. This will carry out research in nafasi-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emission from various cosmic sources. Earlier, NASA had sent ‘Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)’ into nafasi in 2021 for the same objectives. X-ray Polarimetry Nafasi Observatories measure the amount and direction of polarization of incoming X-rays emanating from cosmic bodies and hutumika kama zana ya kipekee ya kusoma sheria za maumbile katika hali mbaya.
Hindi Nafasi Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully launched XPoSat, a ‘X-ray Polarimetry Observatory’. It is designed to carry out research in nafasi-based polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emission from cosmic sources.
Inabeba mizigo miwili ambayo ni POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) na XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy na Timing). Ingawa POLIX itapima mgawanyiko wa mionzi ya X katika bendi ya nishati 8-30keV inayotokana na vyanzo 50 vinavyowezekana vya ulimwengu kupitia Thomson Scattering, upakiaji wa XSPECT utafanya tafiti za muda mrefu za muda mrefu za vyanzo vya X-ray vya ulimwengu katika bendi ya nishati 0.8 -15ke.
NASA Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) launched into nafasi on 9 December 2021 was the first X-ray Polarimetry Nafasi Observatory. Since its launch, it has contributed to several groundbreaking research through studying polarization of X-rays from many different types of celestial objects such as the remnants of supernova explosions, powerful particle streams spit out by feeding mashimo meusi, Nk
X-ray Polarimetry Nafasi Observatories measure the amount and direction of polarization of incoming X-rays emanating from cosmic bodies.
Since polarised light carries unique details about the source and medium it has passed through, X-ray Polarimetry Nafasi Observatories like IXPE and XPoSat serve as a unique tool to study the laws of nature in extreme conditions.
