Abstract: | A Soft X-ray focusing Telescope (SXT) with an X-ray sensitive CCD camera at the focal plane is being developed for the ASTROSAT. Made from conical foil mirrors with a CeD detector in the focal plane SXT will have a reflecting area of ",200 cm2 below 1.5 keY, angular resolution of ,,-,3'- 4'(FWHM) at 1.5 keY, energy bandwidth of 0.3 - 8 keY and energy resolution of about 150 eV. A brief description of the SXT design and development, and science expected from it after its launch is given. |
