Soft X-Ray Observations of Quiescent Solar Active Regions using Novel Dual-zone Aperture X-ray Solar Spectrometer (DAXSS)
Bennet D. Schwab, Robert H. A. Sewell, Thomas N. Woods +3
The Dual-zone Aperture X-ray Solar Spectrometer (DAXSS) was flown on 2018 June18 on the NASA 36.336 sounding rocket flight and obtained the highest resolution to date for solar sof…
Simulating Solar Flare Irradiance with Multithreaded Models of Flare Arcades
Jeffrey W. Reep, Harry P. Warren, Christopher S. Moore +2
Understanding how energy is released in flares is one of the central problems of solar and stellar astrophysics. Observations of high temperature flare plasma hold many potential c…
SmallSat Solar Axion and Activity X-ray Imager (SSAXI)
Jaesub Hong, Suzanne Romaine, Almus Kenter +8
Axions are a promising dark matter candidate as well as a solution to the strong charge-parity (CP) problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We describe a new mission concept for S…
MinXSS-2 CubeSat mission overview: Improvements from the successful MinXSS-1 mission
James Paul Mason, Thomas N. Woods, Phillip C. Chamberlin +9
The second Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS-2) CubeSat, which begins its flight in late 2018, builds on the success of MinXSS-1, which flew from 2016-05-16 to 2017-05-06.…
