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…
Reducing the Athena WFI charged particle background: Results from Geant4 simulations
Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz +9
One of the science goals of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's Athena X-ray observatory is to map hot gas structures in the universe, such as clusters and groups of galaxies and…
The role of vascular complexity on optimal junction exponents
Jonathan Keelan, James P. Hague
We examine the role of complexity on arterial tree structures, determining globally optimal vessel arrangements using the Simulated AnneaLing Vascular Optimization (SALVO) algorith…
Development of a globally optimised model of the cerebral arteries
Jonathan Keelan, Emma M. L. Chung, James P. Hague
The cerebral arteries are difficult to reproduce from first principles, featuring interwoven territories, and intricate layers of grey and white matter with differing metabolic dem…
