Development of next-generation event-driven x-ray hybrid CMOS detectors
Timothy R. Emeigh, Abraham D. Falcone, Joseph M. Colosimo +14
The Penn State University High Energy Astrophysics Detector and Instrumentation Lab, in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors, has developed a next-generation event-driven X-…
Characterization of Random Telegraph Noise in an H2RG X-ray Hybrid CMOS Detector
William A. Bevidas, Joseph M. Colosimo, Abraham D. Falcone +13
Hybrid CMOS detectors (HCDs) have several excellent features as high-performance X-ray detectors, including rapid readout, deep-depletion silicon for high quantum efficiency, radia…
Expected Gamma-Ray Burst Detection Rates and Redshift Distributions for the BlackCAT CubeSat Mission
Joseph M. Colosimo, Derek B. Fox, Abraham D. Falcone +17
We report the results of an extensive set of simulations exploring the sensitivity of the BlackCAT CubeSat to long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). BlackCAT is a NASA APRA-funded…
Evolution of Primordial Kuiper Belt Binaries Through a Giant Planet Instability
Lukas R Stone, Nathan A Kaib
The non-resonant Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) between the 3:2 and 2:1 Neptunian mean motion resonances can be largely divided between a cold classical belt (CCB) and a hot classical…
