Research Abstract

We developed an X-ray telescope with an adaptive optics and performed an imaging experiment with X-rays. A difference of the path length, between the reference light and an objective light in our system, was corrected by using a modified-target-wave -form for the adaptive logic and we confirmed a validity of out method. Consequently we obtained an angular resolution of 1.55 arc-sec. We examined possible problems for a fabrication of an X-ray interferometer. We constructed a test assembly for an optical interferometer and examined a possible precision for the X-ray interferometer. Consequently we found that the required precision can be achieved by using piezo-electric actuators.
