Progress towards a microchannel plate detector with AlGaN photocathode and cross-strip anode for ultraviolet astronomy
S. Diebold, J. Barnstedt, L. Conti +9
Microchannel plates (MCPs) were the driving detector technology for ultraviolet (UV) astronomy over many years, and still today MCP-based detectors are the baseline for several pla…
Stratospheric Balloons as a Complement to the Next Generation of Astronomy Missions
Philipp Maier, Maria Ångerman, Jürgen Barnstedt +23
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is for example the case for high spatial resolution far infrared astr…
Stratospheric balloons as a platform for the next large far infrared observatory
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Alfred Krabbe +21
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is the case for high spatial resolution far infrared (FIR) astronomy,…
Towards a European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory -- The ESBO Design Study
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Thomas Keilig +18
This paper presents the concept of a community-accessible stratospheric balloon-based observatory that is currently under preparation by a consortium of European research institute…
Status of the STUDIO UV balloon mission and platform
A. Pahler, M. Ångermann, J. Barnstedt +24
Stratospheric balloons offer accessible and affordable platforms for observations in atmosphere-constrained wavelength ranges. At the same time, they can serve as an effective step…
Microchannel-Plate Detector Development for Ultraviolet Missions
Lauro Conti, Jürgen Barnstedt, Sebastian Buntrock +19
The Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Tübingen (IAAT) has a long-term experience in developing and building space-qualified imaging and photon counting microchannel-plate…
