Soft proton experiments supporting the development of astronomical X-ray instrumentation
S. J. Diebold, B. Heß, F. Pfeifle +11
Orbital soft protons can severely degrade the performance of astronomical X-ray observatories. On the one hand, they may cause permanent radiation damage to X-ray detectors; on the…
Microchannel plate detector development for ultraviolet astronomy
S. Diebold, J. Barnstedt, J. Bayer +8
Observational data from the UV wavelength range is crucial to solve several astrophysical puzzles. Consequently, there are a number of upcoming UV missions from CubeSats up to the…
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…
