The ASTRO-H X-ray Observatory
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +220
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will…
The LOFAR radio environment
A. R. Offringa, A. G. de Bruyn, S. Zaroubi +93
Aims: This paper discusses the spectral occupancy for performing radio astronomy with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), with a focus on imaging observations. Methods: We have analys…
Accelerator experiments with soft protons and hyper-velocity dust particles: application to ongoing projects of future X-ray missions
E. Perinati, S. Diebold, E. Kendziorra +31
We report on our activities, currently in progress, aimed at performing accelerator experiments with soft protons and hyper-velocity dust particles. They include tests of different…
Radio astronomy with the Lunar Lander: opening up the last unexplored frequency regime
Marc Klein Wolt, Amin Aminaei, Philippe Zarka +3
The active broadband (1 kHz-100 MHz) tripole antenna now envisaged to be placed on the European Lunar Lander located at the Lunar South Pole allows for sensitive measurements of th…
Calibration strategies for the LAD instrument on-board LOFT
Luigi Pacciani, Paolo Soffitta, Andrea Argan +12
The Scientific objectives of the LOFT mission, e.g., the study of the Neutron Star equation of state and of the Strong Gravity, require accurate energy, time and flux calibration f…
The LOFT Wide Field Monitor simulator
I. Donnarumma, Y. Evangelista, R. Campana +6
We present the simulator we developed for the Wide Field Monitor (WFM) aboard the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) mission, one of the four ESA M3 candidate missions consi…
