Development of next-generation event-driven x-ray hybrid CMOS detectors
Timothy R. Emeigh, Abraham D. Falcone, Joseph M. Colosimo +14
The Penn State University High Energy Astrophysics Detector and Instrumentation Lab, in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors, has developed a next-generation event-driven X-…
Classification of a New X-ray Catalog of Likely Counterparts to 4FGL-DR4 Unassociated Gamma-ray Sources Using a Neural Network
Kyle D. Neumann, Abraham D. Falcone, Stephen DiKerby +5
Our survey of the fourth Large Area Telescope catalog (4FGL) unassociated gamma-ray source regions using the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) and Ultraviolet/Optical Telescop…
Characterization of Random Telegraph Noise in an H2RG X-ray Hybrid CMOS Detector
William A. Bevidas, Joseph M. Colosimo, Abraham D. Falcone +13
Hybrid CMOS detectors (HCDs) have several excellent features as high-performance X-ray detectors, including rapid readout, deep-depletion silicon for high quantum efficiency, radia…
Expected Gamma-Ray Burst Detection Rates and Redshift Distributions for the BlackCAT CubeSat Mission
Joseph M. Colosimo, Derek B. Fox, Abraham D. Falcone +17
We report the results of an extensive set of simulations exploring the sensitivity of the BlackCAT CubeSat to long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). BlackCAT is a NASA APRA-funded…
