Micro-X Sounding Rocket Payload Re-flight Progress
J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler, N. Bastidon +14
Micro-X is an X-ray sounding rocket payload that had its first flight on July 22, 2018. The goals of the first flight were to operate a transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray microcalo…
Modeling a Three-Stage SQUID System in Space with the First Micro-X Sounding Rocket Flight
J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler, N. Bastidon +14
The Micro-X sounding rocket is a NASA funded X-ray telescope payload that completed its first flight on July 22, 2018. This event marked the first operation of Transition Edge Sens…
Towards 100,000-pixel microcalorimeter arrays using multi-absorber transition-edge sensors
S. J. Smith, J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler +15
We report on the development of multi-absorber transition edge sensors (TESs), referred to as hydras. A hydra consists of multiple x-ray absorbers each with a different thermal con…
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…
Study of the dependency on magnetic field and bias voltage of an AC-biased TES microcalorimeter
Luciano Gottardi, James Adams, Catherine Bailey +15
At SRON we are studying the performance of a Goddard Space Flight Center single pixel TES microcalorimeter operated in an AC bias configuration. For x-ray photons at 6 keV the pixe…
Science Objectives for an X-Ray Microcalorimeter Observing the Sun
J. Martin Laming, J. Adams, D. Alexander +57
We present the science case for a broadband X-ray imager with high-resolution spectroscopy, including simulations of X-ray spectral diagnostics of both active regions and solar fla…
