GRBAlpha and VZLUSAT-2: GRB observations with CubeSats after 3 years of operations
Filip Münz, Jakub Řípa, András Pál +31
GRBAlpha is a 1U CubeSat launched in March 2021 to a sun-synchronous LEO at an altitude of 550 km to perform an in-orbit demonstration of a novel gamma-ray burst detector developed…
GRBAlpha: the smallest astrophysical space observatory -- Part 1: Detector design, system description and satellite operations
András Pál, Masanori Ohno, László Mészáros +42
Aims. Since launched on 2021 March 22, the 1U-sized CubeSat GRBAlpha operates and collects scientific data on high-energy transients, making it the smallest astrophysical space obs…
Early results from GRBAlpha and VZLUSAT-2
Jakub Ripa, Andras Pal, Masanori Ohno +37
We present the detector performance and early science results from GRBAlpha, a 1U CubeSat mission, which is a technological pathfinder to a future constellation of nanosatellites m…
Geant4 simulation of the residual background in the ATHENA Wide Field Imager from protons deflected by the Charged Particle Diverter
Gábor Galgóczi, Jean-Paul Breuer, Valentina Fioretti +11
X-ray telescopes opened up a new window into the high-energy universe. However, the last generation of these telescopes encountered an unexpected problem: their optics focused not…
Athena charged particle diverter simulations: effects of micro-roughness on proton scattering using Geant4
Jean-Paul Breuer, Gábor Galgóczi, Valentina Fioretti +12
The last generation of X-ray focusing telescopes operating outside the Earth's radiation belt discovered that optics were able to focus not only astrophysical X-ray photons, but al…
