The ASTRI Mini-Array of Cherenkov Telescopes at the Observatorio del Teide
Scuderi S., Giuliani A., Pareschi G. +95
The ASTRI Mini-Array (MA) is an INAF project to build and operate a facility to study astronomical sources emitting at very high-energy in the TeV spectral band. The ASTRI MA consi…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
Geant4 simulation of the residual background in the ATHENA Wide Field Imager from protons deflected by the Charged Particle Diverter
Gábor Galgóczi, Jean-Paul Breuer, Valentina Fioretti +11
X-ray telescopes opened up a new window into the high-energy universe. However, the last generation of these telescopes encountered an unexpected problem: their optics focused not…
Athena charged particle diverter simulations: effects of micro-roughness on proton scattering using Geant4
Jean-Paul Breuer, Gábor Galgóczi, Valentina Fioretti +12
The last generation of X-ray focusing telescopes operating outside the Earth's radiation belt discovered that optics were able to focus not only astrophysical X-ray photons, but al…
Mitigating the effects of particle background on the Athena Wide-Field Imager
Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +16
The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by un…
