Abstract

The new Japanese X-ray Astronomy satellite, ASTRO-H will carry two identical hard X-ray telescopes (HXTs), which cover 5 to 80 keV, in order to provide new insights into frontier of X-ray astronomy. The HXT mirror surfaces are coated with Pt/C depth-graded multilayers to enhance hard X-ray effective area by means of Bragg reflection, and 213 mirror reflectors with a thickness of 0.22 mm are tightly nested confocally in a telescope. The production of FM HXT-1 and HXT-2 were completed in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The X-ray performance of HXTs were measured at the synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8/ BL20B2 Japan. The total effective area of two HXTs is about 350 cm² at 30 keV and the angular resolution of HXT is about 1.'9 in half power diameter at 30 keV. The HXTs are in the clean room at ISAS for waiting the final integration test.
