Microchannel plate detector development for ultraviolet astronomy
S. Diebold, J. Barnstedt, J. Bayer +8
Observational data from the UV wavelength range is crucial to solve several astrophysical puzzles. Consequently, there are a number of upcoming UV missions from CubeSats up to the…
Progress towards a microchannel plate detector with AlGaN photocathode and cross-strip anode for ultraviolet astronomy
S. Diebold, J. Barnstedt, L. Conti +9
Microchannel plates (MCPs) were the driving detector technology for ultraviolet (UV) astronomy over many years, and still today MCP-based detectors are the baseline for several pla…
Stratospheric Balloons as a Complement to the Next Generation of Astronomy Missions
Philipp Maier, Maria Ångerman, Jürgen Barnstedt +23
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is for example the case for high spatial resolution far infrared astr…
Towards a European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory -- The ESBO Design Study
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Thomas Keilig +18
This paper presents the concept of a community-accessible stratospheric balloon-based observatory that is currently under preparation by a consortium of European research institute…
Status of the STUDIO UV balloon mission and platform
A. Pahler, M. Ångermann, J. Barnstedt +24
Stratospheric balloons offer accessible and affordable platforms for observations in atmosphere-constrained wavelength ranges. At the same time, they can serve as an effective step…
Microchannel-Plate Detector Development for Ultraviolet Missions
Lauro Conti, Jürgen Barnstedt, Sebastian Buntrock +19
The Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Tübingen (IAAT) has a long-term experience in developing and building space-qualified imaging and photon counting microchannel-plate…
Mapping Diffuse Emission in Lyman UV band
Li Ji, Zheng Lou, Jinlong Zhang +38
The CAFE (Census of warm-hot intergalactic medium, Accretion, and Feedback Explorer) and LyRIC (Lyman UV Radiation from Interstellar medium and Circum-galactic medium) have been pr…
Trigger performance verification of the FlashCam prototype camera
S. Sailer, F. Werner, G. Hermann +33
FlashCam is a camera proposed for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We compare camera trigger rates obtained from measurements with the camera pro…
MCP detector development for UV space missions
Lauro Conti, Jürgen Barnstedt, Lars Hanke +7
We are developing imaging and photon counting UV-MCP detectors, which are sensitive in the wavelength range from far ultraviolet to near ultraviolet. A good quantum efficiency, sol…
