Mechanical cryocooler noise observed in the ground testing of the Resolve X-ray microcalorimeter onboard XRISM
R. Imamura, H. Awaki, M. Tsujimoto +5
Low-temperature detectors often use mechanical coolers as part of the cooling chain in order to reach sub-Kelvin operating temperatures. The microphonics noise caused by the mechan…
First Flight Performance of the Micro-X Microcalorimeter X-Ray Sounding Rocket
Joseph S. Adams, Robert Baker, Simon R. Bandler +28
The flight of the Micro-X sounding rocket on July 22, 2018 marked the first operation of Transition-Edge Sensors and their SQUID readouts in space. The instrument combines the micr…
Line Emission Mapper (LEM): Probing the physics of cosmic ecosystems
Ralph Kraft, Maxim Markevitch, Caroline Kilbourne +107
The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s that will answer the outstanding questions of the Universe's structure formation. It will also provide transformative…
