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-…
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…
Million Points of Light (MPoL): a PyTorch library for radio interferometric imaging and inference
Ian Czekala, Jeff Jennings, Brianna Zawadzki +9
Astronomical radio interferometers achieve exquisite angular resolution by cross-correlating signal from a cosmic source simultaneously observed by distant pairs of radio telescope…
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…
Updated Catalog of Kepler Planet Candidates: Focus on Accuracy and Orbital Periods
Jack J. Lissauer, Jason F. Rowe, Daniel Jontof-Hutter +5
We present a new catalog of Kepler planet candidates that prioritizes accuracy of planetary dispositions and properties over uniformity. This catalog contains 4376 transiting plane…
