The Swift-UVOT ultraviolet and visible grism calibration
N. P. M. Kuin, W. Landsman, A. A. Breeveld +16
We present the calibration of the Swift UVOT grisms, of which there are two, providing low-resolution field spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and optical bands respectively. The UV g…
The LOFT Ground Segment
E. Bozzo, A. Antonelli, A. Argan +27
LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, was one of the ESA M3 mission candidates that completed their assessment phase at the end of 2013. LOFT is equipped with two instrumen…
Optimisation of the design for the LOFT Large Area Detector Module
D. Walton, B. Winter, S. Zane +25
LOFT (Large Observatory for X-ray Timing) is an X-ray timing observatory that, with four other candidates, was considered by ESA as an M3 mission (with launch in 2022-2024) and has…
The digital data processing concepts of the LOFT mission
C. Tenzer, A. Argan, A. Cros +10
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT) is one of the five mission candidates that were considered by ESA for an M3 mission (with a launch opportunity in 2022 - 2024). LOFT f…
The use and calibration of read-out streaks to increase the dynamic range of the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope
M. J. Page, N. P. M. Kuin, A. A. Breeveld +12
The dynamic range of photon counting micro-channel-plate (MCP) intensified charged-coupled device (CCD) instruments such as the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and the X…
The on-board data handling concept for the LOFT Large Area Detector
S. Suchy, P. Uter, C. Tenzer +9
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT) is one of the four candidate ESA M3 missions considered for launch in the time-frame of 2022. It is specifically designed to perform f…
