NASA ASTRA White Paper : A Chandra Successor in the 2030s
C. S. Reynolds, E. Hodges-Kluck, E. A. Kara +19
Chandra established that soft X-ray spectral imaging with approximately 1 arcsec angular resolution is an essential tool for almost every area of astrophysics, from the early Unive…
High-statistics simulations of NewAthena WFI background using Geant4
Matthew K. Heine, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +14
The observation of hot gas structures is one science goal of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's NewAthena X-ray observatory. Because the measurement of these faint diffuse source…
Using the XMM-Newton small window mode to investigate systematic uncertainties in the particle background of X-ray charge-coupled device detectors
Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen +17
The level and uncertainty of the particle induced background in CCD detectors plays a crucial role for future X-ray instruments, such as the Wide Field Imager (WFI) onboard Athena.…
The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on the Chandra X-ray Observatory: twenty-five years of on-orbit operation
Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Paul P. Plucinsky +1
As the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on the Chandra X-ray Observatory completes a quarter century of on orbit operations, it continues to perform well and produce specta…
Overview of the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS)
Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky +40
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolutio…
Using ACIS on the Chandra X-ray Observatory as a particle radiation monitor II
C. E. Grant, P. G. Ford, M. W. Bautz +1
The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer is an instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. CCDs are vulnerable to radiation damage, particularly by soft protons in the radiation belt…
