Lowering the Energy Threshold using a Plastic Scintillator and Radiation-Damaged SiPMs
Teruaki Morishita, Yasushi Fukazawa, Hiromitsu Takahashi +3
The radiation damage to a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) set on a satellite orbit increases energy threshold for scintillator detectors. We confirmed that 1 krad of radiation incre…
GRBAlpha: the smallest astrophysical space observatory -- Part 1: Detector design, system description and satellite operations
András Pál, Masanori Ohno, László Mészáros +42
Aims. Since launched on 2021 March 22, the 1U-sized CubeSat GRBAlpha operates and collects scientific data on high-energy transients, making it the smallest astrophysical space obs…
The peak-flux of GRB 221009A measured with GRBAlpha
Jakub Ripa, Hiromitsu Takahashi, Yasushi Fukazawa +42
The brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed, long-duration GRB 221009A, was detected by GRBAlpha nano-satellite without saturation. We present light curves of the prompt emission i…
Estimation of the detected background by the future gamma-ray transient mission CAMELOT
J. Ripa, G. Galgóczi, N. Werner +18
This study presents a background estimation for the Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients (CAMELOT), which is a proposed fleet of nanosatellites for the all-sky…
All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory: Exploring the Extreme Multimessenger Universe
Julie McEnery, Juan Abel Barrio, Ivan Agudo +182
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) is a probe class mission concept that will provide essential contributions to multimessenger astrophysics in the late 2020s…
Shedding new light on the Crab with polarized X-rays
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +13
Strong magnetic fields, synchrotron emission, and Compton scattering are omnipresent in compact celestial X-ray sources. Emissions in the X-ray energy band are consequently expecte…
