Charge Response Simulation of Liquid Argon Compton Cameras for Precise MeV Gamma-Ray Event Reconstruction
Shota Arai, Hirokazu Odaka, Satoshi Takashima +5
We studied the detector response for a liquid-argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) Compton camera targeting MeV gamma-ray astronomy by a Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulation. The…
Low-Noise SiPM Light Readout and ASIC-Based Charge Readout of a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber for MeV Gamma-Ray Measurements
Satoshi Takashima, Hirokazu Odaka, Shota Arai +25
We have developed a compact liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC), NanoGRAMS, as a technology demonstrator for the Gamma-Ray and AntiMatter Survey (GRAMS). LArTPCs have the…
Gender equality activities in Astronomical Society of Japan
Aya Bamba, Ayumi Asai, Ryohko Ishikawa +6
The female ratio in science field, including astronomy, is still quite low in Japan. We, the Astronomical Society of Japan, are making efforts to equalise the gender balance. In th…
Pile-up simulator for XRISM/Xtend onboard the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM)
Tomokage Yoneyama, Tsubasa Tamba, Hirokazu Odaka +6
In X-ray astronomy, most observatories utilize multi-pixel photon-counting devices. When a photon counting device observes a bright source, we face an unavoidable problem called pi…
Development of Solar Flare X-ray Polarimeter with Micro-Pixel CMOS Sensors
Kouichi Hagino, Tatsuaki Kato, Toshiya Iwata +10
We are developing an X-ray polarimeter using micro-pixel CMOS sensors for solar flare X-ray polarimetry. The system consists of a 2.5-m pixel CMOS image sensor with a 12.8$\time…
Imaging reconstruction method on X-ray data of CMOS polarimeter combined with coded aperture
Tsubasa Tamba, Hirokazu Odaka, Taihei Watanabe +7
X-ray polarization is a powerful tool for unveiling the anisotropic characteristics of high-energy celestial objects. We present a novel imaging reconstruction method designed for…
Development of the X-ray polarimeter using CMOS imager: polarization sensitivity of a pixel CMOS sensor
Toshiya Iwata, Kouichi Hagino, Hirokazu Odaka +10
We are developing an imaging polarimeter by combining a fine-pixel CMOS image sensor with a coded aperture mask as part of the cipher project, aiming to achieve X-ray polarimetry i…
Status of Women in Astronomy: A need for advancing inclusivity and equal opportunities
Mamta Pandey-Pommier, Arianna Piccialli, Belinda J. Wilkes +12
Women in the Astronomy and STEM fields face systemic inequalities throughout their careers. Raising awareness, supported by detailed statistical data, represents the initial step t…
