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 Cluster Evolutionary Reference Ensemble at Low- (CEREAL) Sample of Galaxy Clusters I: X-ray Morphological Properties and Demographics
Laurel White, Michael McDonald, Steven W. Allen +8
With rapid improvements in the assembly of large samples of galaxy clusters, we are approaching the ability to study clusters at . Evolutionary studies comparing these d…
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.…
