Benchmarking of Geant4 simulations for the COSI Anticoincidence System
Alex Ciabattoni, Valentina Fioretti, John A. Tomsick +10
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is an upcoming NASA Small Explorer satellite mission, designed for all-sky observations in the soft gamma-ray domain with the use of germ…
BurstCube: Concept, Performance, and Status
Jacob R. Smith, Michael S. Briggs, Alessandro Bruno +26
The first simultaneous detection of a short gamma-ray burst (SGRB) with a gravitational-wave (GW) signal ushered in a new era of multi-messenger astronomy. In order to increase the…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
BurstCube: A CubeSat for Gravitational Wave Counterparts
Judith Racusin, Jeremy S. Perkins, Michael S. Briggs +12
BurstCube will detect long GRBs, attributed to the collapse of massive stars, short GRBs (sGRBs), resulting from binary neutron star mergers, as well as other gamma-ray transients…
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager Project for MeV Astronomy
John A. Tomsick, Steven E. Boggs, Andreas Zoglauer +33
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a 0.2-5 MeV Compton telescope capable of imaging, spectroscopy, and polarimetry of astrophysical sources. Such capabilities are made p…
Radiation Damage of Pixelated CdZnTe Due to High-Energy Protons
Daniel Shy, David Goodman, Ryan Parsons +5
Pixelated CdZnTe detectors are a promising imaging-spectrometer for gamma-ray astrophysics due to their combination of relatively high energy resolution with room temperature opera…
