A 50 mK test bench for demonstration of the readout chain of Athena/X-IFU
Florent Castellani, Sophie Beaumont, François Pajot +22
The X-IFU (X-ray Integral Field Unit) onboard the large ESA mission Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics), planned to be launched in the mid 2030s, will be a cry…
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-…
Towards 100,000-pixel microcalorimeter arrays using multi-absorber transition-edge sensors
S. J. Smith, J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler +15
We report on the development of multi-absorber transition edge sensors (TESs), referred to as hydras. A hydra consists of multiple x-ray absorbers each with a different thermal con…
Detection of polarized gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula with Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We present the results from the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) observation of the Crab nebula. The main part of SGD is a Compton camera, which in addition to being a spectrom…
Spatial distribution of the Milky Way hot gaseous halo constrained by Suzaku X-ray observations
Shinya Nakashima, Yoshiyuki Inoue, Noriko Yamasaki +3
The formation mechanism of the hot gaseous halo associated with the Milky Way Galaxy is still under debate. We report new observational constraints on the gaseous halo using 107 li…
Hitomi X-ray Observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula G21.50.9
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +194
We present results from the Hitomi X-ray observation of a young composite-type supernova remnant (SNR) G21.50.9, whose emission is dominated by the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) cont…
