A Scientific Trigger Unit for Space-Based Real-Time Gamma Ray Burst Detection, I - Scientific Software Model and Simulations
Stéphane Schanne, Hervé Le Provost, Pierre Kestener +6
The on-board Scientific Trigger Unit (UTS) is designed to detect Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in real-time, using the data produced by the ECLAIRs camera, foreseen to equip the future F…
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…
The design of the wide field monitor for LOFT
S. Brandt, M. Hernanz, L. Alvarez +41
LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the ESA M3 missions selected within the Cosmic Vision program in 2011 to carry out an assessment phase study and compete for a l…
The LOFT Burst Alert System and its Burst On-board Trigger
S. Schanne, D. Götz, H. Le Provost +3
The ESA M3 candidate mission LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) has been designed to study strong gravitational fields by observing compact objects, such as black-hole binar…
HARPO: a TPC as a gamma-ray telescope and polarimeter
Denis Bernard, Philippe Bruel, Mickael Frotin +14
A gas Time Projection Chamber can be used for gamma-ray astronomy with excellent angular-precision and sensitivity to faint sources, and for polarimetry, through the measurement of…
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope for the Gamma-Ray Burst mission SVOM
D. Gotz, J. Osborne, B. Cordier +17
We present the Microchannel X-ray Telescope, a new light and compact focussing telescope that will be flying on the Sino-French SVOM mission dedicated to Gamma-Ray Burst science. T…
