TL;DR: The International X-ray Observatory (IXO) as mentioned in this paper is designed to conduct spectroscopic, imaging, and timing studies of astrophysical phenomena that take place as near as in the solar system and as far as in early universe.

Kai-Wing Chan,Kai-Wing Chan,William W. Zhang,Tyler Evans,Ryan S. McClelland,Melinda Hong,James R. Mazzarella,Timo T. Saha,Lalit Jalota,Lalit Jalota,L. Olsen,Glenn Byron +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suspension-mounting scheme for the International X-ray Observatory (IXO) mirror segments is presented, in which the figure of the mirror segment is preserved in each stage of mounting.
Opto-mechanics of the Constellation-X SXT mirrors: challenges in mounting and assembling the mirror segments
Kai-Wing Chan,Kai-Wing Chan,William W. Zhang,Timo T. Saha,John P. Lehan,John P. Lehan,James R. Mazzarella,Lawrence Lozipone,Melinda Hong,Glenn Byron +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an opto-mechanical approach to limit distortion of the mirrors due to gravity in ground tests, that arises from thermal stress, and that occurs in the process of mounting, affixing and assembling of these mirrors.

An alignment procedure for multi-element precision cylinder lenses and modular enclosure to house them
J. P. Lehan,J. P. Lehan,Glenn Byron,Ryan S. McClelland,Theodore Hadjimichael,R. Russell,David W. Robinson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the precision alignment of cylinder lenses is presented for the null lenses used to test the segmented mirrors for the IXO x-ray telescope. And a design for a housing for such a lens is presented.
