Focal Plane of the Arcus Probe X-Ray Spectrograph
Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz, Eric D. Miller +7
The Arcus Probe mission concept provides high-resolution soft X-ray and UV spectroscopy to reveal feedback-driven structure and evolution throughout the universe with an agile resp…
X-ray spectral performance of the Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor near Fano limit after a per-pixel gain calibration
Benjamin Schneider, Gregory Prigozhin, Richard F. Foster +10
The advent of back-illuminated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensors and their well-known advantages over charge-coupled devices (CCDs) make them an attractive tec…
Characterization of X-ray Detectors in the MIT X-ray Polarimetry Beamline
Sarah N. T. Heine, Herman L. Marshall, Benjamin Schneider +3
The MIT X-ray Polarimetry Beamline is a facility that we developed for testing components for possible use in X-ray polarimetry. Over the past few years, we have demonstrated that…
Towards efficient machine-learning-based reduction of the cosmic-ray induced background in X-ray imaging detectors: increasing context awareness
Artem Poliszczuk, Dan Wilkins, Steven W. Allen +15
Traditional cosmic ray filtering algorithms used in X-ray imaging detectors aboard space telescopes perform event reconstruction based on the properties of activated pixels above a…
Augmenting astronomical X-ray detectors with AI for enhanced sensitivity and reduced background
D. R. Wilkins, A. Poliszczuk, B. Schneider +13
Bringing artificial intelligence (AI) alongside next-generation X-ray imaging detectors, including CCDs and DEPFET sensors, enhances their sensitivity to achieve many of the flagsh…
Curved detectors for future X-ray astrophysics missions
Eric D. Miller, James A. Gregory, Marshall W. Bautz +17
Future X-ray astrophysics missions will survey large areas of the sky with unparalleled sensitivity, enabled by lightweight, high-resolution optics. These optics inherently produce…
Advancing Precision Particle Background Estimation for Future X-ray Missions: Correlated Variability between AMS and Chandra/XMM-Newton
Arnab Sarkar, Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller +9
Galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles have a significant impact on the particle-induced background of X-ray observatories, and their flux exhibits substantial temporal variability, p…
