The Design and Performance Characteristics of the NRL4 ASIC Developed for the COSI Small Explorer Gamma-ray Satellite
Jarred M. Roberts, Clio Sleator, Eric Wulf +5
Next-generation gamma-ray observatories aim to enable precision measurements in high-energy astrophysics using advanced semiconductor detector technologies. Meeting the scientific…
The design and performance of the XL-Calibur anticoincidence shield
N. K. Iyer, M. Kiss, M. Pearce +31
The XL-Calibur balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission comprises a Compton-scattering polarimeter placed at the focal point of an X-ray mirror. The polarimeter is housed withi…
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…
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…
Design and Performance of the X-ray polarimeter X-Calibur
Matthias Beilicke, F. Kislat, A. Zajczyk +13
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei,…
AXTAR: Mission Design Concept
Paul S. Ray, Deepto Chakrabarty, Colleen A. Wilson-Hodge +18
The Advanced X-ray Timing Array (AXTAR) is a mission concept for X-ray timing of compact objects that combines very large collecting area, broadband spectral coverage, high time re…
