Balloon-borne hard X-ray astronomy with PoGOLite: Opening a new window on the universe

High energy polarization can be an indication of geometry, orientation, and other physical phenomena for a variety of sources, but has heretofore been a virtually unmeasured phenomenon. PoGOLite is a balloon-borne instrument intended to measure the polarization of X-rays between 25 and 100 keV. The...
