Spectral performance of single-channel plastic and GAGG scintillator bars of the CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP)
Nicolas De Angelis, Abhay Kumar, Sergio Fabiani +45
Our Sun is the closest X-ray astrophysical source to Earth. As such, it makes a formidable case study to better understand astrophysical processes. Solar flares are in particular v…
Solar flare forecasting with foundational transformer models across image, video, and time-series modalities
S. Riggi, P. Romano, A. Pilzer +1
We present a comparative study of transformer-based architectures for solar flare forecasting using heterogeneous data modalities, including images, video sequences, and time-serie…
Solar Flare Hard X-ray Polarimetry with the CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission
Nicolas De Angelis, Andrea Alimenti, Davide Albanesi +43
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) project is a CubeSat mission planned for a launch in low-Earth orbit and aimed to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X…
The multi-physics analysis, design and testing of CUSP, a CubeSat mission for space weather and solar flares x-ray polarimetry
Giovanni Lombardi, Sergio Fabiani, Ettore Del Monte +45
The space-based CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band by means of a Compton scattering polarimeter…
CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) Sensitivity Estimation and Performance Optimization using Geant4
Abhay Kumar, Giovanni Lombardi, Giovanni De Cesare +45
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the 25-100 keV X-ray band using a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUSP will allow us…
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP): mission overview II
Sergio Fabiani, Ettore Del Monte, Andrea Alimenti +46
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) project is an Earth-orbiting CubeSat mission designed to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band using a Compton…
