End-to-end ground calibration and in-flight performance of the FIREBall-2 instrument
Vincent Picouet, Bruno Milliard, Gillian Kyne +18
The payload of the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall-2), the second generation of the FIREBall instrument (PI: C. Martin, Caltech), has been calibrated and…
FIREBall-2: The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon Telescope
Erika Hamden, D. Christopher Martin, Bruno Milliard +31
The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall) is a mission designed to observe faint emission from the circumgalactic medium of moderate redshift (z~0.7) ga…
Delta-doped Electron Multiplying CCDs for FIREBall-2
Gillian Kyne, Erika T. Hamden, Shouleh Nikzad +11
We present the status of on-going detector development efforts for our joint NASA/CNES balloon-borne UV multi-object spectrograph, the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Ballo…
FIREBall-2: advancing TRL while doing proof-of-concept astrophysics on a suborbital platform
Erika T. Hamden, Keri Hoadley, D. Christopher Martin +32
Here we discuss advances in UV technology over the last decade, with an emphasis on photon counting, low noise, high efficiency detectors in sub-orbital programs. We focus on the u…
Multi Object Spectrograph of the Fireball-II Balloon Experiment
G Lemaitre, R. Grange, S Quiret +3
Fireball-II is a NASA/CNES balloon-borne telescope and MOS to study faint diffuse emissions of galaxies in the space ultraviolet. The MOS is based on two identical reflective Schmi…
Design and modelling of spectrographs with holographic gratings on freeform surfaces
Eduard R. Muslimov, Marc Ferrari, Emmanuel Hugot +6
In the present paper we demonstrate the approach of using a holographic grating on a freeform surface for advanced spectrographs design. We discuss the surface and groove pattern d…
