X-ray testing of the AXAF Technology Mirror Assembly (TMA) mirrorThe X-ray performance of the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility TMA in the 0.277-6.4-keV range. The precise figure and smooth surface originally specified (which were expected from the in-process optical and mechanical measurements) are verified. The paper primarily describes the test equipment and methods used and gives examples of the detailed on-axis and off-axis data.
