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…
QPOs are more than timing features: Applying the Accretion-Ejection Instability in Super massive black-holes
P. Varniere
Low Frequency QPOs (LFQPOs) have always been seen uniquely as a timing feature, with most models focused on reproducing only their timing behavior. Previously, the Accretion-Ejecti…
Gravitational waves or X-ray counterpart? No need to choose
Raphaël Mignon-Risse, Peggy Varniere, Fabien Casse
Binary black holes emit gravitational waves as they inspiral towards coalescence. Searches for electromagnetic counterparts to these gravitational waves rely on looking for common…
On the origin of the lump in circumbinary discs
Raphaël Mignon-Risse, Peggy Varniere, Fabien Casse
Accreting binary black holes (BBHs) are multi-messenger sources, emitting copious electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational waves. One of their most promising EM signatures is the lig…
Impact of a binary black hole on its outer circumbinary disc
Raphaël Mignon-Risse, Peggy Varniere, Fabien Casse
Accreting supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) are potential targets for multi-messenger astronomy as they emit gravitational waves (GW) while their environment emits electroma…
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…
