Query: PolarLight: a CubeSat X-ray Polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector   The gas pixel detector (GPD) is designed and developed for high-sensitivity
astronomical X-ray polarimetry, which is a new window about to open in a few
years. Due to the small mass, low power, and compact geometry of the GPD, we
propose a CubeSat mission Polarimeter Light (PolarLight) to demonstrate and
test the technology directly in space. There is no optics but a collimator to
constrain the field of view to 2.3 degrees. Filled with pure dimethyl ether
(DME) at 0.8 atm and sealed by a beryllium window of 100 micron thick, with a
sensitive area of about 1.4 mm by 1.4 mm, PolarLight allows us to observe the
brightest X-ray sources on the sky, with a count rate of, e.g., ~0.2 counts/s
from the Crab nebula. The PolarLight is 1U in size and mounted in a 6U CubeSat,
which was launched into a low Earth Sun-synchronous orbit on October 29, 2018,
and is currently under test. More launches with improved designs are planned in
2019. These tests will help increase the technology readiness for future
missions such as the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP), better
understand the orbital background, and may help constrain the physics with
observations of the brightest objects.
