POEMMA-Balloon with Radio: A multi-messenger, multi-detector balloon payload
J. Adams, J. Alfaro, D. Allard +123
A review of the current status of the field of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) including a summary of remaining open questions was presented in the white paper "Ultra-High Ene…
Data downloaded via parachute from a NASA super-pressure balloon
Ellen L. Sirks, Richard Massey, Ajay S. Gill +40
In April to May 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth's stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon, to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of)…
Performance of the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission during its 2018/19 Long-Duration Balloon Flight
Quincy Abarr, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Matthias Beilicke +28
X-Calibur is a balloon-borne telescope that measures the polarization of high-energy X-rays in the 15--50keV energy range. The instrument makes use of the fact that X-rays scatter…
The Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO): A White Paper
Q. Abarr, P. Allison, J. Ammerman Yebra +47
The Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO) long-duration balloon experiment is designed to have world-leading sensitivity to ultrahigh-energy neutrinos at energies above…
First Operation of TES Microcalorimeters in Space with the Micro-X Sounding Rocket
J. S. Adams, R. Baker, S. R. Bandler +20
Micro-X is a sounding rocket-borne instrument that uses a microcalorimeter array to perform high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. This instrument flew for the first time on July 22nd…
Design of the telescope truss and gondola for the balloon-borne X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Fabian Kislat, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Paul Dowkontt +13
X-ray polarimetry has seen a growing interest in recent years. Improvements in detector technology and focusing X-ray optics now enable sensitive astrophysical X-ray polarization m…
