Constraining the Neutron Star Mass-Radius Relation and Dense Matter Equation of State with NICER. I. The Millisecond Pulsar X-ray Data Set
Slavko Bogdanov, Sebastien Guillot, Paul S. Ray +27
We present the set of deep Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) X-ray timing observations of the nearby rotation-powered millisecond pulsars PSRs J0437-4715, J0030+04…
PSR J0030+0451 Mass and Radius from NICER Data and Implications for the Properties of Neutron Star Matter
M. C. Miller, F. K. Lamb, A. J. Dittmann +18
Neutron stars are not only of astrophysical interest, but are also of great interest to nuclear physicists, because their attributes can be used to determine the properties of the…
PHEMTO : Polarimetric High Energy Modular Telescope Observatory
P. Laurent, F. Acero, V. Beckmann +27
With the opening of the X and gamma--ray windows in the sixties, thanks to to sounding rockets and satellite-borne instruments, extremely energetic and violent phenomena were disco…
First Operation of TES Microcalorimeters in Space with the Micro-X Sounding Rocket
J. S. Adams, R. Baker, S. R. Bandler +20
Micro-X is a sounding rocket-borne instrument that uses a microcalorimeter array to perform high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. This instrument flew for the first time on July 22nd…
Micro-X Sounding Rocket: Transitioning from First Flight to a Dark Matter Configuration
J. S. Adams, A. J. Anderson, R. Baker +21
The Micro-X sounding rocket flew for the first time on July 22, 2018, becoming the first program to fly Transition-Edge Sensors and multiplexing SQUID readout electronics in space.…
Cal X-1: an absolute in-orbit calibrator for current and future X-ray observatories
Keith Jahoda, Maxim Markevitch, Takashi Okajima +6
We describe Cal X-1, a SmallSat mission concept to establish X-ray standard candles in the sky, which will enable absolute calibration of the current and future X-ray observatories…
