The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
The TES-based Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector of ATHENA X-IFU: Validation of the thermal end-to-end simulator towards the updated Demonstration Model (DM 1.1)
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Simone Lotti +13
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) is a key element of the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is a TES-based detector d…
Unveiling the origin of XMM-Newton soft proton flares: I. Design and validation of a response matrix for proton spectral analysis
Valentina Fioretti, Teresa Mineo, Simone Lotti +8
Low-energy (<300 keV) protons entering the field of view of XMM-Newton are observed in the form of a sudden increase in the background level, the so-called soft proton flares, affe…
The end-to-end simulator of the ATHENA X-IFU Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector (CryoAC)
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Simone Lotti +8
The X-IFU is one of the two instruments of ATHENA, the next ESA large X-ray observatory. It is a cryogenic spectrometer based on an array of TES microcalorimeters. To reduce the pa…
Life Cycle Assessment of the Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jürgen Knödlseder +15
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high-resolution X-ray spectrometer to fly on board the Athena Space Observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA). It is being develop…
Thermalization of a SQUID chip at cryogenic temperature: Thermal conductance measurement for GE 7031 Varnish Glue, Apiezon N Grease and Rubber Cement between 20 and 200 mK
M. D'Andrea, G. Torrioli, C. Macculi +1
In the context of the ATHENA X-IFU Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC) development, we have studied the thermalization properties of a 2mm x 2mm SQUID chip. The chip is glu…
