Continued developments in X-ray speed reading: fast, low noise readout for next-generation wide-field imagers
Sven Herrmann, Peter Orel, Tanmoy Chattopadhyay +12
Future strategic X-ray astronomy missions will require unprecedentedly sensitive wide-field imagers providing high frame rates, low readout noise and excellent soft energy response…
Demonstrating sub-electron noise performance in Single electron Sensitive Readout (SiSeRO) devices
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Peter Orel +14
Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO) is a novel on-chip charge detection technology that can, in principle, provide significantly greater responsivity and improved noise per…
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…
Overview of the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS)
Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky +40
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolutio…
Gas clumping in the outskirts of galaxy clusters, an assessment of the sensitivity of STAR-X
Christian T. Norseth, Daniel R. Wik, John A. ZuHone +3
In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for thi…
Arcus X-ray telescope performance and alignment
Hans Moritz Günther, Peter Cheimets, Eric D. Miller +4
Arcus is a concept for a probe class mission to deliver high-resolution FUV and X-ray spectroscopy. For X-rays, it combines cost-effective silicon pore optics (SPO) with high-throu…
