Absorption and scattering by interstellar dust in the silicon K-edge of GX 5-1
S. T. Zeegers, E. Costantini, C. P. de Vries +6
We study the absorption and scattering of X-ray radiation by interstellar dust particles, which allows us to access the physical and chemical properties of dust. The interstellar d…
Development of frequency domain multiplexing for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on the Athena
Hiroki Akamatsu, Luciano Gottardi, Jan van der Kuur +11
We are developing the frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) read-out of transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) instrument on board o…
Microcalorimeter pulse analysis by means of principle component decomposition
C. P. de Vries, R. M. Schouten, J. van der Kuur +2
The X-ray integral field unit for the Athena mission consists of a microcalorimeter transition edge sensor pixel array. Incoming photons generate pulses which are analyzed in terms…
