Refactoring the SIXTE simulator: Towards a more modular code base
Christian Kirsch, Maximilian Lorenz, Lea Dauner +7
The SIXTE (SImulation of X-ray TElescopes) software is a general end-to-end simulation toolkit for X-ray observations, covering the full observation process from source photon gene…
The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
X-ray detection of a nova in the fireball phase
Ole König, Jörn Wilms, Riccardo Arcodia +17
Novae are caused by runaway thermonuclear burning in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of accreting white dwarfs, which results in the envelope to expand rapidly and to eject most of its…
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…
SIXTE -- The Generic X-ray Instrument Simulation Toolkit
Thomas Dauser, Sebastian Falkner, Maximilian Lorenz +8
We give an overview of the SImulation of X-ray TElescopes (SIXTE) software package, a generic, mission-independent Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for X-ray astronomical instrumenta…
