Twenty-five years of XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS2 Unfocused Particle Background: Solar Cycle Modulation, Galactic Cosmic-Ray Correlation, and Implications for NewAthena
B. Vaia, F. Gastaldello, S. Molendi +13
We present a study of the unfocused particle-induced background measured by the XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS2 detector, extending previous analyses to the end of 2025 and covering approxima…
High-statistics simulations of NewAthena WFI background using Geant4
Matthew K. Heine, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +14
The observation of hot gas structures is one science goal of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's NewAthena X-ray observatory. Because the measurement of these faint diffuse source…
Resolving the temporal evolution of M87 jet with -arcsec Chandra observations
Camille Poitras, Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft +3
We present a 13-year Chandra/HRC-I study of the M87 jet, using point-spread-function deconvolution to achieve unprecedented sub-arcsecond X-ray resolution of its kiloparsec-scale s…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Using the XMM-Newton small window mode to investigate systematic uncertainties in the particle background of X-ray charge-coupled device detectors
Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen +17
The level and uncertainty of the particle induced background in CCD detectors plays a crucial role for future X-ray instruments, such as the Wide Field Imager (WFI) onboard Athena.…
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…
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…
Reducing the background in X-ray imaging detectors via machine learning
D. R. Wilkins, S. W. Allen, E. D. Miller +9
The sensitivity of astronomical X-ray detectors is limited by the instrumental background. The background is especially important when observing low surface brightness sources that…
