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…
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.…
In-flight Calibration of Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (3) Effective Area
Masahiro Tsujimoto, Takashi Okajima, Megan E. Eckart +14
We present the result of the in-flight calibration of the effective area of the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) onboard the Hitomi X-ray satellite using an observation of the Crab ne…
Inflight Calibration of the Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (2) Point Spread Function
Yoshitomo Maeda, Toshiki Sato, Takayuki Hayashi +14
We present results of inflight calibration of the point spread function (PSF) of the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT-S) that focuses X-ray onto the pixel array of the Soft X-ray Spectrom…
