The TRILL project: increasing the technological readiness of Laue lenses
Lisa Ferro, Enrico Virgilli, Miguel Moita +16
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy (> 100 keV) is a crucial field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the 511 keV positron annihilation line in the Galactic ce…
CdTe Spectroscopic-Imager Measurements with Bent Crystals for Broad Band Laue Lenses
N. Auricchio, L. Ferro, J. B. Stephen +15
In astrophysics, several key questions in the hard X soft Gamma-ray range (above 100 keV) require sensitivity and angular resolution that are hardly achievable with current technol…
ASTENA: a mission concept for a deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky and for nuclear astrophysics
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, P. Rosati +16
Gamma-ray astronomy is a branch whose potential has not yet been fully exploited. The observations of elemental and isotopic abundances in supernova (SN) explosions are key probes…
Laue lenses: Focusing optics for hard X/soft Gamma-ray Astronomy
L Ferro, M. Moita, P. Rosati +15
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy is a key field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves, gamma-ray bursts…
The X/Gamma-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XGIS) on-board THESEUS: design, main characteristics, and concept of operation
Claudio Labanti, Lorenzo Amati, Filippo Frontera +58
THESEUS is one of the three missions selected by ESA as fifth medium class mission (M5) candidates in its Cosmic Vision science program, currently under assessment in a phase A stu…
The XGIS imaging system onboard the THESEUS mission
José Luis Gasent-Blesa, Víctor Reglero, Paul Connell +19
Within the scientific goals of the THESEUS ESA/M5 candidate mission, a critical item is a fast (within a few s) and accurate (<15 arcmin) Gamma-Ray Burst and high-energy transient…
