Early results from GRBAlpha and VZLUSAT-2
Jakub Ripa, Andras Pal, Masanori Ohno +37
We present the detector performance and early science results from GRBAlpha, a 1U CubeSat mission, which is a technological pathfinder to a future constellation of nanosatellites m…
Space applications of GAGG:Ce scintillators: a study of afterglow emission by proton irradiation
Giuseppe Dilillo, Nicola Zampa, Riccardo Campana +18
We discuss the results of a proton irradiation campaign of a GAGG:Ce (Cerium-doped Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet) scintillation crystal, carried out in the framework of the H…
The simulation framework of the timing-based localization for future all-sky gamma-ray observations with a fleet of Cubesats
Masanori Ohno, Norbert Werner, Andras Pal +22
The timing-based localization, which utilize the triangulation principle with the different arrival time of gamma-ray photons, with a fleet of Cubesats is a unique and powerful sol…
A software toolkit to simulate activation background for high energy detectors onboard satellites
G. Galgoczi, J. Ripa, G. Dilillo +3
A software toolkit for the simulation of activation background for high energy detectors onboard satellites is presented on behalf of the HERMES-SP collaboration. The framework emp…
A summary on an investigation of GAGG:Ce afterglow emission in the context of future space applications within the HERMES nanosatellite mission
G. Dilillo, R. Campana, N. Zampa +18
GAGG:Ce (Cerium-doped Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet) is a promising new scintillator crystal. A wide array of interesting features, such as high light output, fast decay time…
A Comparison of Trapped Particle Models in Low Earth Orbit
J. Ripa, G. Dilillo, R. Campana +1
Space radiation is well-known to pose serious issues to solid-state high-energy sensors. Therefore, radiation models play a key role in the preventive assessment of the radiation d…
The scientific payload on-board the HERMES-TP and HERMES-SP CubeSat missions
Y. Evangelista, F. Fiore, F. Fuschino +22
HERMES (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites) Technological and Scientific pathfinder is a space borne mission based on a LEO constellation of nano-satellites. The 3U C…
GRBAlpha: A 1U CubeSat mission for validating timing-based gamma-ray burst localization
András Pál, Masanori Ohno, László Mészáros +26
GRBAlpha is a 1U CubeSat mission with an expected launch date in the first half of 2021. It carries a 75 x 75 x 5 mm CsI(Tl) scintillator, read out by a dual-channel multi-pixel ph…
CAMELOT: design and performance verification of the detector concept and localization capability
Masanori Ohno, Norbert Werner, András Pál +16
A fleet of nanosatellites using precise timing synchronization provided by the Global Positioning System is a new concept for monitoring the gamma-ray sky that can achieve both all…
CAMELOT: Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients - Mission Overview
Norbert Werner, Jakub Řípa, András Pál +17
We propose a fleet of nanosatellites to perform an all-sky monitoring and timing based localisation of gamma-ray transients. The fleet of at least nine 3U cubesats shall be equippe…
A next generation Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO-100) for IR/optical observations of the rise phase of gamma-ray bursts
B. Grossan, I. H. Park, S. Ahmad +39
The Swift Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) observatory responds to GRB triggers with optical observations in ~ 100 s, but cannot respond faster than ~ 60 s. While some ground-based telescopes…
