Ground calibration plan for the Athena/X-IFU microcalorimeter spectrometer
Alexeï Molin, François Pajot, Marc Audard +24
The X-ray Integral Field Unit is the X-ray imaging spectrometer on-board one of ESA's next large missions, Athena. Athena is set to investigate the theme of the Hot and Energetic U…
Toward mapping turbulence in the intracluster medium IV. Using NewAthena/X-IFU and simulation based inference to constrain turbulence
Alexeï Molin, Simon Dupourqué, Nicolas Clerc +3
Context. The NewAthena mission planned for launch in the late 2030s will carry X-IFU, an integral field unit spectrometer that will obtain unique insight into the X-ray hot univers…
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…
Toward mapping turbulence in the intracluster medium III. Constraints on the turbulent power spectrum with Athena/X-IFU
Sophie Beaumont, Alexeï Molin, Nicolas Clerc +5
Context. Future X-ray observatories with high spectral resolution and imaging capabilities will enable measurements and mappings of emission line shifts in the intracluster medium…
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…
A test platform for the detection and readout chain for the Athena X-IFU
Gabriele Betancourt-Martinez, François Pajot, Sophie Beaumont +26
We present a test platform for the Athena X-IFU detection chain, which will serve as the first demonstration of the representative end-to-end detection and readout chain for the X-…
