Probing millisecond magnetar formation in binary neutron star mergers through X-ray follow-up of gravitational wave alerts
Clara Plasse, Alexis Reboul-Salze, Jérome Guilet +5
The nature of the remnant of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger is uncertain. Though certainly a black hole (BH) in the cases of the most massive BNSs, X-ray lightcurves from gamma…
In-flight performance of the MXT Camera
M. Moita, A. Meuris, P. Ferrando +8
On-board the SVOM mission, the Microchannel X-ray Telescope observes the soft X-ray band of the gamma-ray bursts afterglows. The so-called lobster-eye optics focuses X-rays to the…
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM mission: in-flight scientific performance
D. Götz, S. Crepaldi, E. Doumayrou +14
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) is a compact and lightweight focusing X-ray telescope, which is part of the space payload of the SVOM mission. The main goal of the MXT instr…
Characterizing Candidate Blazar Counterparts of the Ultra-High-Energy Event KM3-230213A
KM3NeT Collaboration, MessMapp Group, LAT Collaboration +13
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos serve as crucial messengers for understanding hadronic acceleration processes and identifying the origins of cosmic rays, with blazars among the…
Prediction of the SVOM MXT camera end of life spectral performance based on proton irradiation results
Clara Plasse, Diego Götz, Aline Meuris +4
SVOM, the Space-based Variable astronomical Object Monitor, launched on June 22nd 2024, is a Chinese-French mission focused on exploring the brightest phenomena in the cosmos - Gam…
