A simple, flexible method for timing cross-calibration of space missions
Matteo Bachetti, Yukikatsu Terada, Megumi Shidatsu +25
The timing (cross-)calibration of astronomical instruments is often done by comparing pulsar times-of-arrival (TOAs) to a reference timing model. In high-energy astronomy, the choi…
Verification of the Timing System for the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission in the GPS Unsynchronized Mode
Megumi Shidatsu, Yukikatsu Terada, Takashi Kominato +59
We report the results from the ground and on-orbit verifications of the XRISM timing system when the satellite clock is not synchronized to the GPS time. In this case, the time is…
Development of the Timing System for the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission
Yukikatsu Terada, Megumi Shidatsu, Makoto Sawada +62
This paper describes the development, design, ground verification, and in-orbit verification, performance measurement, and calibration of the timing system for the X-Ray Imaging an…
The very high X-ray polarisation of accreting black hole IGRJ17091-3624 in the hard state
Melissa Ewing, Maxime Parra, Guglielmo Mastroserio +26
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarisation of the transient black hole X-ray binary IGRJ17091-3624 taken with the Imaging X-ray polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in March 20…
