ASTRO-H White Paper - Low-mass X-ray Binaries
C. Done, M. Tsujimoto, E. Cackett +20
There is still 10-20% uncertainty on the neutron star (NS) mass-radius relation. These uncertainties could be reduced by an order of magnitude through an unambiguous measure of M/R…
Calibration and in orbit performance of the reflection grating spectrometer onboard XMM-Newton
C. P. de Vries, J. W. den Herder, C. Gabriel +6
Context: XMM-Newton was launched on 10 December 1999 and has been operational since early 2000. One of the instruments onboard XMM-Newton is the reflection grating spectrometer (RG…
The LOFT Ground Segment
E. Bozzo, A. Antonelli, A. Argan +27
LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, was one of the ESA M3 mission candidates that completed their assessment phase at the end of 2013. LOFT is equipped with two instrumen…
The design of the wide field monitor for LOFT
S. Brandt, M. Hernanz, L. Alvarez +41
LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the ESA M3 missions selected within the Cosmic Vision program in 2011 to carry out an assessment phase study and compete for a l…
Optimisation of the design for the LOFT Large Area Detector Module
D. Walton, B. Winter, S. Zane +25
LOFT (Large Observatory for X-ray Timing) is an X-ray timing observatory that, with four other candidates, was considered by ESA as an M3 mission (with launch in 2022-2024) and has…
Hyper-velocity impact test and simulation of a double-wall shield concept for the Wide Field Monitor aboard LOFT
E. Perinati, M. Rott, A. Santangelo +10
The space mission LOFT (Large Observatory For X-ray Timing) was selected in 2011 by ESA as one of the candidates for the M3 launch opportunity. LOFT is equipped with two instrument…
