Characterization of a TES-based Anti-Coincidence Detector for Future Large Field-of-View X-ray Calorimetry Missions
Samuel V. Hull, Joseph S. Adams, Simon R. Bandler +22
Microcalorimeter instruments aboard future X-ray observatories will require an anti-coincidence (anti-co) detector to veto charged particle events and reduce the non-X-ray backgrou…
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…
System performance of a cryogenic test-bed for the time-division multiplexing readout for NewAthena X-IFU
Davide Vaccaro, Jan van der Kuur, Paul van der Hulst +23
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is an instrument of ESA's future NewAthena space observatory, with the goal to provide high-energy resolution ( 4 eV at X-ray energies up t…
A 50 mK test bench for demonstration of the readout chain of Athena/X-IFU
Florent Castellani, Sophie Beaumont, François Pajot +22
The X-IFU (X-ray Integral Field Unit) onboard the large ESA mission Athena (Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics), planned to be launched in the mid 2030s, will be a cry…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
Progress in the development of frequency domain multiplexing for the X-ray Integral Field Unit on board the Athena mission
H. Akamatsu, L. Gottardi, J. van der Kuur +11
Frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) is the baseline readout system for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the Athena mission. Under the FDM scheme, TESs are coupled to…
Development of frequency domain multiplexing for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on the Athena
Hiroki Akamatsu, Luciano Gottardi, Jan van der Kuur +11
We are developing the frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) read-out of transition-edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeters for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) instrument on board o…
MUSTANG: 90 GHz Science with the Green Bank Telescope
S. R. Dicker, P. M. Korngut, B. S. Mason +16
MUSTANG is a 90 GHz bolometer camera built for use as a facility instrument on the 100 m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank radio telescope (GBT). MUSTANG has an 8 by 8 focal plane array of…
