Evaluation of gamma-ray response of the AstroPix4 HV-CMOS active pixel sensor
Yusuke Suda, Regina Caputo, Daniel Violette +11
AstroPix is a novel high-voltage CMOS active pixel sensor being developed for a next generation gamma-ray space telescope, AMEGO-X. To meet AMEGO-X instrument requirements, AstroPi…
ComPair-2: A Next Generation Medium Energy Gamma-ray Telescope Prototype
Regina Caputo, Carolyn Kierans, Nicholas Cannady +30
Many questions posed in the Astro2020 Decadal survey in both the New Messengers and New Physics and the Cosmic Ecosystems science themes require a gamma-ray mission with capabiliti…
A-STEP: The AstroPix Sounding Rocket Technology Demonstration Payload
Daniel P. Violette, Amanda Steinhebel, Abhradeep Roy +21
A next-generation medium-energy (100 keV to 100 MeV) gamma-ray observatory will greatly enhance the identification and characterization of multimessenger sources in the coming deca…
The path toward 500 m depletion of AstroPix, a pixelated silicon HVCMOS sensor for space and EIC
Amanda L. Steinhebel, Jennifer Ott, Olivia Kroger +15
The precise reconstruction of Compton-scatter events is paramount for an imaging medium-energy gamma-ray telescope. The proposed AMEGO-X is enabled by a silicon tracker utilizing A…
