Characterization of more than three years of in-orbit radiation damage of SiPMs on GRBAlpha and VZLUSAT-2 CubeSats
Jakub Ripa, Marianna Dafcikova, Pavel Kosik +42
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are prone to radiation damage which causes an increase of dark count rate. This leads to an increase in low-energy threshold in a gamma-ray detecto…

Y. Evangelista, F. Fiore, R. Campana +68
HERMES (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites) Pathfinder is a space-borne mission based on a constellation of six nano-satellites flying in a low-Earth orbit (LEO). The…
GRBAlpha and VZLUSAT-2: GRB observations with CubeSats after 3 years of operations
Filip Münz, Jakub Řípa, András Pál +31
GRBAlpha is a 1U CubeSat launched in March 2021 to a sun-synchronous LEO at an altitude of 550 km to perform an in-orbit demonstration of a novel gamma-ray burst detector developed…
