Summary
| Description |
English: The High Energy Focusing Telescope (HEFT) is a balloon-borne instrument carrying one of the first focusing telescopes for the hard X-ray band (20–70 keV). It makes use of tungsten-silicon multilayer coatings to extend the reflectivity of nested grazing-incidence mirrors beyond 10 keV. HEFT has an angular resolution of 1.5 arcminutes in half-power diameter, and an energy resolution of 1.0 keV full width at half maximum at 60 keV. HEFT was launched for a 25-hour balloon flight on May 2005. The instrument performed within specification, and observed Cyg X-1, the Crab Nebula. 한국어: 이 파일의 한국어 버전이 있습니다: File:800crab-ko.png |

This is the Crab Nebula in various energy bands, including a hard X-ray image from the HEFT data taken during its 2005 observation run. The angular resolution of HEFT is about 1.5′. Each image is 6′ wide.
