GRBAlpha: the smallest astrophysical space observatory -- Part 1: Detector design, system description and satellite operations
András Pál, Masanori Ohno, László Mészáros +42
Aims. Since launched on 2021 March 22, the 1U-sized CubeSat GRBAlpha operates and collects scientific data on high-energy transients, making it the smallest astrophysical space obs…
The peak-flux of GRB 221009A measured with GRBAlpha
Jakub Ripa, Hiromitsu Takahashi, Yasushi Fukazawa +42
The brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed, long-duration GRB 221009A, was detected by GRBAlpha nano-satellite without saturation. We present light curves of the prompt emission i…
Simulations of expected signal and background of gamma-ray sources by large field-of-view detectors aboard CubeSats
Gábor Galgóczi, Jakub Řípa, Riccardo Campana +19
In recent years the number of CubeSats (U-class spacecrafts) launched into space has increased exponentially marking the dawn of the nanosatellite technology. In general these sate…
The simulation framework of the timing-based localization for future all-sky gamma-ray observations with a fleet of Cubesats
Masanori Ohno, Norbert Werner, Andras Pal +22
The timing-based localization, which utilize the triangulation principle with the different arrival time of gamma-ray photons, with a fleet of Cubesats is a unique and powerful sol…
GRBAlpha: A 1U CubeSat mission for validating timing-based gamma-ray burst localization
András Pál, Masanori Ohno, László Mészáros +26
GRBAlpha is a 1U CubeSat mission with an expected launch date in the first half of 2021. It carries a 75 x 75 x 5 mm CsI(Tl) scintillator, read out by a dual-channel multi-pixel ph…
Estimation of the detected background by the future gamma-ray transient mission CAMELOT
J. Ripa, G. Galgóczi, N. Werner +18
This study presents a background estimation for the Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients (CAMELOT), which is a proposed fleet of nanosatellites for the all-sky…
CAMELOT: design and performance verification of the detector concept and localization capability
Masanori Ohno, Norbert Werner, András Pál +16
A fleet of nanosatellites using precise timing synchronization provided by the Global Positioning System is a new concept for monitoring the gamma-ray sky that can achieve both all…
CAMELOT - Concept study and early results for onboard data processing and GPS-based timestamping
András Pál, László Mészáros, Norbert Tarcai +17
Due to recent advances in nanosatellite technology, it is now feasible to integrate scintillators with an effective area of hundreds of square-centimeters on a single three-unit cu…
CAMELOT: Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients - Mission Overview
Norbert Werner, Jakub Řípa, András Pál +17
We propose a fleet of nanosatellites to perform an all-sky monitoring and timing based localisation of gamma-ray transients. The fleet of at least nine 3U cubesats shall be equippe…
