The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
Well-posedness for the dNLS hierarchy
Joseph Adams
We prove well-posedness for higher-order equations in the so-called dNLS hierarchy (also known as part of the Kaup-Newell hierarchy) in almost critical Fourier-Lebesgue and in modu…
The STAR Event Plane Detector
Joseph Adams, Annika Ewigleben, Sierra Garrett +15
The Event Plane Detector (EPD) is an upgrade detector to the STAR experiment at RHIC, designed to measure the pattern of forward-going charged particles emitted in a high-energy co…
Well-posedness for the NLS hierarchy
Joseph Adams
We prove well-posedness for higher-order equations in the so-called NLS hierarchy (also known as part of the AKNS hierarchy) in almost critical Fourier-Lebesgue spaces and in modul…
A 50 mK test bench for demonstration of the readout chain of Athena/X-IFU
Florent Castellani, Sophie Beaumont, François Pajot +22
The X-IFU (X-ray Integral Field Unit) onboard the large ESA mission Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics), planned to be launched in the mid 2030s, will be a cry…
Low regularity local well-posedness for the zero energy Novikov-Veselov equation
Joseph Adams, Axel Grünrock
The initial value problem for the Novikov-Veselov equation $$\partial_tu+(\partial ^3 + \overline{\partial}^3)u +3(\partial (u\overline{\partial}^{-1}\partial u…
Circumstellar Structure around Evolved Stars in the Cygnus-X Star Formation Region
Kathleen E. Kraemer, Joseph L. Hora, Michael P. Egan +15
We present observations of newly discovered 24 micron circumstellar structures detected with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) around three evolved stars in the C…
System performance of a cryogenic test-bed for the time-division multiplexing readout for NewAthena X-IFU
Davide Vaccaro, Jan van der Kuur, Paul van der Hulst +23
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is an instrument of ESA's future NewAthena space observatory, with the goal to provide high-energy resolution ( 4 eV at X-ray energies up t…
A test platform for the detection and readout chain for the Athena X-IFU
Gabriele Betancourt-Martinez, François Pajot, Sophie Beaumont +26
We present a test platform for the Athena X-IFU detection chain, which will serve as the first demonstration of the representative end-to-end detection and readout chain for the X-…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
