Mapping the Physical Properties of Cosmic Hot Gas with Hyper-spectral Imaging
A novel inversion technique is proposed to compute parametric maps showing
the temperature, density and chemical composition of cosmic hot gas from X-ray
hyper-spectral images. The parameters are recovered by constructing a unique
non-linear mapping derived by combining a physics-based modelling of the X-ray
spectrum with the selection of optimal bandpass filters. Preliminary results
and analysis are presented.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures; accepted by the 5th IEEE Workshop on Application
