The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
POLLUX: a UV spectropolarimeter for the LUVOIR space telescope project
Eduard Muslimov, Jean-Claude Bouret, Coralie Neiner +9
The present paper describes the current baseline optical design of POLLUX, a high-resolution spectropolarimeter for the future LUVOIR mission. The instrument will operate in the ul…
Tests of achromatic phase shifters performed on the SYNAPSE test bench: a progress report
Pavel Gabor, Peter A. Schuller, Bruno Chazelas +16
The achromatic phase shifter (APS) is a component of the Bracewell nulling interferometer studied in preparation for future space missions (viz. Darwin/TPF-I) focusing on spectrosc…
Stabilising a nulling interferometer using optical path difference dithering
Pavel Gabor, Bruno Chazelas, Frank Brachet +5
Context. Nulling interferometry has been suggested as the underlying principle for the Darwin and TPF-I exoplanet research missions. Aims. There are constraints both on the mean va…
Could we identify hot Ocean-Planets with CoRoT, Kepler and Doppler velocimetry?
F. Selsis, B. Chazelas, P. Borde +16
Planets less massive than about 10 MEarth are expected to have no massive H-He atmosphere and a cometary composition (50% rocks, 50% water, by mass) provided they formed beyond the…
