The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
Scattering efficiencies measurements of soft protons at grazing incidence from an Athena Silicon Pore Optics sample
R. Amato, S. Diebold, A. Guzman +4
Soft protons are a potential threat for X-ray missions using grazing incidence optics, as once focused onto the detectors they can contribute to increase the background and possibl…
Cloudy in the microcalorimeter era: improved energies for Si and S K fluorescence lines
Francesco Camilloni, Stefano Bianchi, Roberta Amato +2
The upcoming X-ray missions based on the microcalorimeter technology require exquisite precision in spectral simulation codes in order to match the unprecedented spectral resolutio…
Soft proton scattering at grazing incidence from X-ray mirrors: analysis of experimental data in the framework of the non-elastic approximation
R. Amato, T. Mineo, A. D'Aì +9
Astronomical X-ray observatories with grazing incidence optics face the problem of pseudo-focusing of low energy protons from the mirrors towards the focal plane. Those protons con…
