Spectroscopic performance of the electrical functional models for the eXTP SFA-T detectors
Alexander Altmann, Robert Andritschke, Valeria Antonelli +11
The Spectroscopy Focusing Array (SFA) is one of the three instruments on the eXTP satellite. It consists of six telescopes plus focal plane cameras, where five are equipped with a…
Spectral performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM mission
B. Schneider, N. Renault-Tinacci, D. Götz +7
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) is an innovative compact X-ray instrument on board the SVOM astronomical mission dedicated to the study of transient phenomena such as gamma-…
The Scientific Performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM Mission
D. Gotz, M. Boutelier, V. Burwitz +17
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will be the first focusing X-ray telescope based on a "Lobster-Eye" optical design to be flown on Sino-French mission SVOM. SVOM will be dedi…
DEPFET Active Pixel Sensors
Norbert Meidinger, Johannes Müller-Seidlitz
An array of DEPFET pixels is one of several concepts to implement an active pixel sensor. Similar to PNCCD and SDD detectors, the typically 0.45 mm thick silicon sensor is fully de…
Mitigating the effects of particle background on the Athena Wide-Field Imager
Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +16
The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by un…
Characterisation of the Particle-Induced Background of XMM-Newton EPIC-pn: Short and Long Term Variability
Esra Bulbul, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen +16
The particle-induced background of X-ray observatories is produced by Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) primary protons, electrons, and He ions. Events due to direct interaction with the d…
