The protoMIRAX Hard X-ray Imaging Balloon Experiment
João Braga, Flavio D'Amico, Manuel A. C. Avila +6
The protoMIRAX hard X-ray imaging telescope is a balloon-borne experiment developed as a pathfinder for the MIRAX satellite mission. The experiment consists essentially in a coded-…
Telescope performance and image simulations of the balloon-borne coded-mask protoMIRAX experiment
A. V. Penacchioni, J. Braga, M. A. Castro +1
In this work we present the results of imaging simulations performed with the help of the GEANT4 package for the protoMIRAX hard X-ray balloon experiment. The instrumental backgrou…
Flux and spectral variations of 1E1740.72942 over the years 20032012
Manuel Castro, Flavio D'Amico, Francisco Jablonski +1
The black hole system 1E1740.72942 is usually the brightest hard X-ray source (above 20 keV) near the Galactic Center, but presents some epochs of low emission (be…
Probing the emission physics and weak/soft population of Gamma-Ray Bursts with LOFT
L. Amati, G. Stratta, J. -L. Atteia +36
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
