First Flight Performance of the Micro-X Microcalorimeter X-Ray Sounding Rocket
Joseph S. Adams, Robert Baker, Simon R. Bandler +28
The flight of the Micro-X sounding rocket on July 22, 2018 marked the first operation of Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The instrument combines the micr…
First operation of Transition-Edge Sensors in space with the Micro-X sounding rocket
J. S. Adams, R. Baker, S. R. Bandler +21
With its first flight in 2018, Micro-X became the first program to fly Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The science goal was a high-resolution, spatially…
A Small Satellite Version of a Broad-band Soft X-ray Polarimeter
Herman L. Marshall, Sarah N. T. Heine, Alan Garner +16
We describe a new implementation of a broad-band soft X-ray polarimeter, substantially based on a previous design. This implementation, the Pioneer Soft X-ray Polarimeter (PiSoX) i…
First Operation of TES Microcalorimeters in Space with the Micro-X Sounding Rocket
J. S. Adams, R. Baker, S. R. Bandler +20
Micro-X is a sounding rocket-borne instrument that uses a microcalorimeter array to perform high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. This instrument flew for the first time on July 22nd…
Micro-X Sounding Rocket: Transitioning from First Flight to a Dark Matter Configuration
J. S. Adams, A. J. Anderson, R. Baker +21
The Micro-X sounding rocket flew for the first time on July 22, 2018, becoming the first program to fly Transition-Edge Sensors and multiplexing SQUID readout electronics in space.…
A Decade-Baseline Study of the Plasma States of Ejecta Knots in Cassiopeia A
John Rutherford, Daniel Dewey, Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano +4
We present the analysis of 21 bright X-ray knots in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant from observations spanning 10 yr. We performed a comprehensive set of measurements to reveal…
