Abstract

The Stellar x-ray polarimeter (SXRP) uses the polarization sensitivity of a graphite Bragg crystal and a lithium Thomson scattering target to measure the polarization of x-rays from astrophysical sources. The SXRP is a focal plane detector for the Soviet-Danish SODART telescopes that will be launched on the Soviet Spectrum-X-Gamma mission. The SCRP will be the third orbiting stellar x-ray polarimeter and should provide an order of magnitude increase in polarization sensitivity over it predecessors.
