Radiation effects and noise evolution in NewAthena WFI flight-production sensors
Valentin Emberger, Johannes Müller-Seidlitz, Luisa Ostler +7
The Wide Field Imager (WFI), one of the two instruments on ESA's next large X-ray observatory NewAthena, is designed for imaging spectroscopy in the 0.2-15 keV range, combining a l…
Characterisation of the NewAthena WFI's DEPFET Flight Production's Operational Parameters
Léonie Sommer, Johannes Müller-Seidlitz, Valentin Emberger +9
NewAthena's Wide Field Imager (WFI) uses detectors made up from Depleted P-Channel Field Effect Transistor (DEPFET) pixels operated in rolling shutter mode. The Large Detector Arra…
Spectroscopic Performance of Detectors for Athena's WFI: Measurements and Simulation
Johannes Müller-Seidlitz, Robert Andritschke, Valentin Emberger +7
The depleted p-channel field effect transistor is the chosen sensor type for the Wide Field Imager of the Athena mission. It will be used in two types of cameras. One will enable o…
Low temperature proton irradiation with DEPFETs for Athena's Wide Field Imager
Valentin Emberger, Robert Andritschke, Parviz Azhdarzadeh +5
The Wide Field Imager (WFI), one of two instruments on ESA's next large X-ray mission Athena, is designed for imaging spectroscopy of X-rays in the range of 0.2 to 15 keV with a la…
The eROSITA X-ray telescope on SRG
P. Predehl, R. Andritschke, V. Arefiev +90
eROSITA (extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) is the primary instrument on the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission, which was successfully launched on July 1…
