Centre of Expertise — X-rays
The centre aims at providing expertise on theoretical and observational X-ray astronomy within the context of MM astronomy. The centre includes experts distributed across several institutes of the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP). The centre includes researchers who are among the top leading experts in Europe for high-energy satellites such as XMM, the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, INTEGRAL, and cubesats such as the HERMES Pathfinder and SpIRIT. The JCE-X-ray centre will provide dedicated expert support on:
- Observational proposal writing assistance
- Data analysis, classification and interpretation of X-ray and gamma emitting sources
- Management of databases and computational astrophysics
