First Flight Performance of the Micro-X Microcalorimeter X-Ray Sounding Rocket
Joseph S. Adams, Robert Baker, Simon R. Bandler +28
The flight of the Micro-X sounding rocket on July 22, 2018 marked the first operation of Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The instrument combines the micr…
First operation of Transition-Edge Sensors in space with the Micro-X sounding rocket
J. S. Adams, R. Baker, S. R. Bandler +21
With its first flight in 2018, Micro-X became the first program to fly Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The science goal was a high-resolution, spatially…
First Operation of TES Microcalorimeters in Space with the Micro-X Sounding Rocket
J. S. Adams, R. Baker, S. R. Bandler +20
Micro-X is a sounding rocket-borne instrument that uses a microcalorimeter array to perform high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. This instrument flew for the first time on July 22nd…
Micro-X Sounding Rocket: Transitioning from First Flight to a Dark Matter Configuration
J. S. Adams, A. J. Anderson, R. Baker +21
The Micro-X sounding rocket flew for the first time on July 22, 2018, becoming the first program to fly Transition-Edge Sensors and multiplexing SQUID readout electronics in space.…
Tiled Array of Pixelated CZT Imaging Detectors for ProtoEXIST2 and MIRAX-HXI
Jaesub Hong, Branden Allen, Jonathan Grindlay +7
We have assembled a tiled array (220 cm2) of fine pixel (0.6 mm) imaging CZT detectors for a balloon borne wide-field hard X-ray telescope, ProtoEXIST2. ProtoEXIST2 is a prototype…
Flight Performance of an advanced CZT Imaging Detector in a Balloon-borne Wide-Field Hard X-ray Telescope - ProtoEXIST1
J. Hong, B. Allen, J. Grindlay +6
We successfully carried out the first high-altitude balloon flight of a wide-field hard X-ray coded-aperture telescope ProtoEXIST1, which was launched from the Columbia Scientific…
ProtoEXIST: Advanced Prototype CZT Coded Aperture Telescopes for EXIST
Branden Allen, Jaesub Hong, Josh Grindlay +9
{\it ProtoEXIST1} is a pathfinder for the {\it EXIST-HET}, a coded aperture hard X-ray telescope with a 4.5 m CZT detector plane a 9070 degree field of view to be flown…
Building Large Area CZT Imaging Detectors for a Wide-Field Hard X-ray Telescope - ProtoEXIST1
J. Hong, B. Allen, J. Grindlay +10
We have constructed a moderately large area (32 cm2), fine pixel (2.5 mm pixel, 5 mm thick) CZT imaging detector which constitutes the first section of a detector module (256 cm2)…
