System performance of a TDM test-bed with long flex harness towards the new X-IFU FPA-DM
D. Vaccaro, M. de Wit, J. van der Kuur +17
SRON (Netherlands Institute for Space Research) is developing the Focal Plane Assembly (FPA) for Athena X-IFU, whose Demonstration Model (DM) will use for the first time a time dom…
Frequency domain multiplexing readout for large arrays of transition-edge sensors
Davide Vaccaro, Hiroki Akamatsu, Luciano Gottardi +13
We report our most recent progress and demonstration of a frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) readout technology for transition-edge sensor (TES) arrays, both of which we have been…
Performance of the SRON Ti/Au Transition Edge Sensor X-ray Calorimeters
Martin de Wit, Luciano Gottardi, Kenichiro Nagayoshi +7
In the early 2030s, ESAs new X-ray observatory, Athena, is scheduled to be launched. It will carry two main instruments, one of which is the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU), an X…
Susceptibility study of TES micro-calorimeters for X-ray spectroscopy under FDM readout
Davide Vaccaro, Hiroki Akamatsu, Luciano Gottardi +15
We present a characterization of the sensitivity of TES X-ray micro-calorimeters to environmental conditions under frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) readout. In the FDM scheme, e…
ATHENA X-IFU Demonstration Model: First joint operation of the main TES Array and its Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC)
M. D'Andrea, K. Ravensberg, A. Argan +28
The X-IFU is the cryogenic spectrometer onboard the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is based on a large array of TES microcalorimeters, which works in combination with a Cryoge…
Optimising the multiplex factor of the frequency domain multiplexed readout of the TES-based microcalorimeter imaging array for the X-IFU instrument on the Athena Xray observatory
J. van der Kuur, L. G. Gottardi, H. Akamatsu +5
Athena is a space-based X-ray observatory intended for exploration of the hot and energetic universe. One of the science instruments on Athena will be the X-ray Integrated Field Un…
