SVOM discovery of a strong X-ray outburst of the blazar 1ES~1959+650 and multi-wavelength follow-up with the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory
A. Foisseau, A. Coleiro, S. Komossa +37
On December 6, 2024, 1ES 1959+650, one of the X-ray brightest blazars known, underwent a high-amplitude X-ray outburst detected by SVOM, the first such discovery with this mission.…
Recent developments in Laue lens manufacturing and their impact on imaging performance
Lisa Ferro, Enrico Virgilli, Natalia Auricchio +9
We report on recent progress in the development of Laue lenses for applications in hard X/soft gamma-ray astronomy. Here we focus on the realization of a sector of such a lens made…
Imaging performance above 150 keV of the wide field monitor on board the ASTENA concept mission
Lisa Ferro, Leo Cavazzini, Miguel Moita +10
A new detection system for X-/Gamma-ray broad energy passband detectors for astronomy has been developed. This system is based on Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) coupled with scinti…
The TRILL project: increasing the technological readiness of Laue lenses
Lisa Ferro, Enrico Virgilli, Miguel Moita +16
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy (> 100 keV) is a crucial field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the 511 keV positron annihilation line in the Galactic ce…
Measurement of the non-linearity in the gamma-ray response of the GAGG:Ce inorganic scintillator
R. Campana, C. Evola, C. Labanti +6
A characteristic of every inorganic scintillator crystal is its light yield, i.e., the amount of emitted scintillation photons per unit of energy deposited in the crystal. Light yi…
Opening the path to hard X-/soft gamma-ray focussing: the ASTENA-pathfinder mission
Enrico Virgilli, Lorenzo Amati, Natalia Auricchio +10
Hard X-/soft gamma-ray astronomy is a crucial field for transient, nuclear and multimessenger astrophysics. However, the spatial localization, imaging capabilities and sensitivity…
CdTe Spectroscopic-Imager Measurements with Bent Crystals for Broad Band Laue Lenses
N. Auricchio, L. Ferro, J. B. Stephen +15
In astrophysics, several key questions in the hard X soft Gamma-ray range (above 100 keV) require sensitivity and angular resolution that are hardly achievable with current technol…
ASTENA: a mission concept for a deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky and for nuclear astrophysics
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, P. Rosati +16
Gamma-ray astronomy is a branch whose potential has not yet been fully exploited. The observations of elemental and isotopic abundances in supernova (SN) explosions are key probes…
Laue lenses: Focusing optics for hard X/soft Gamma-ray Astronomy
L Ferro, M. Moita, P. Rosati +15
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy is a key field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves, gamma-ray bursts…
