Broadband X-ray analysis of 1E 1740.7-2942: constraints on spin, inclination and a tentative black hole mass
Paulo E. Stecchini, Flavio D'Amico, Francisco Jablonski +2
1E 1740.7-2942 is one of the strongest hard X-ray emitters in the Galactic Centre region, believed to be a black hole in a high-mass X-ray binary system. Although extensively studi…
LECX: a cubesat experiment to detect and localize cosmic explosions in hard X rays
J. Braga, O. S. C. Durao, M. Castro +8
With the advent of the nanosat/cubesat revolution, new opportunities have appeared to develop and launch small (\ts 1000 cm), low-cost (\ts US$ 1M) experiments in…
Coded Aperture Imaging in High-Energy Astrophysics
João Braga
Hard X-ray and low-energy gamma-ray coded-aperture imaging instruments have been highly successful as high-energy surveyors and transient-source discoverers and trackers over the p…
The THESEUS space mission concept: science case, design and expected performances
L. Amati, P. O'Brien, D. Goetz +208
THESEUS is a space mission concept aimed at exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and at providing a substantial advancement of multi-messenger and time-…
Tandem Swift and INTEGRAL Data to Revisit the Orbital and Superorbital Periods of 1E 1740.7-2942
Paulo Eduardo Stecchini, Manuel Castro, Francisco Jablonski +2
The black hole candidate 1E 1740.7-2942 is one of the strongest hard X-ray sources in the Galactic Center region. No counterparts in longer wavelengths have been identified for thi…
Background and Imaging Simulations for the Hard X-Ray Camera of the MIRAX Mission
Manuel Castro, Joao Braga, Ana Penacchioni +2
We report the results of detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the performance expected both at balloon altitudes and at the probable satellite orbit of a hard X-ray coded-aperture c…
