The Deep and Transient Universe in the SVOM Era: New Challenges and Opportunities - Scientific prospects of the SVOM mission
J. Wei, B. Cordier, S. Antier +77
To take advantage of the astrophysical potential of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Chinese and French astrophysicists have engaged the SVOM mission (Space-based multi-band astronomical V…
In-orbit background of X-ray microcalorimeters and its effects on observations
S. Lotti, D. Cea, C. Macculi +6
Methods.There are no experimental data about the background experienced by microcalorimeters in the L2 orbit, and thus the particle background levels were calculated by means of Mo…
Hyper-velocity impact test and simulation of a double-wall shield concept for the Wide Field Monitor aboard LOFT
E. Perinati, M. Rott, A. Santangelo +10
The space mission LOFT (Large Observatory For X-ray Timing) was selected in 2011 by ESA as one of the candidates for the M3 launch opportunity. LOFT is equipped with two instrument…
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope for the Gamma-Ray Burst mission SVOM
D. Gotz, J. Osborne, B. Cordier +17
We present the Microchannel X-ray Telescope, a new light and compact focussing telescope that will be flying on the Sino-French SVOM mission dedicated to Gamma-Ray Burst science. T…
Estimate of the impact of background particles on the X-Ray Microcalorimeter Spectrometer on IXO
S. Lotti, E. Perinati, L. Natalucci +4
We present the results of a study on the impact of particles of galactic (GCR) and solar origin for the X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectrometer (XMS) aboard an astronomical satellite f…
