Development and Evaluation of a CNN-Based Charged-Particle Event Rejection Algorithm for Soft X-ray Detection in a pnCCD-Based Satellite System

Hsien-Chieh Shen, Ryuji Kondo, Makoto Arimoto +13

All-sky surveys in the soft X-ray band are essential for detecting transient objects such as high-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which provide key insights into the early univer…
