Time Domain Astronomy with the THESEUS Satellite
S. Mereghetti, S. Balman, M. Caballero-Garcia +74
THESEUS is a medium size space mission of the European Space Agency, currently under evaluation for a possible launch in 2032. Its main objectives are to investigate the early Univ…
The soft X-ray imager on THESEUS: the transient high energy survey and early universe surveyor
Paul O'Brien, Ian Hutchinson, Hannah Natasha Lerman +7
We are entering a new era for high energy astrophysics with the use of new technology to increase our ability to both survey and monitor the sky. The Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) instru…
2SXPS: An improved and expanded Swift X-ray telescope point source catalog
P. A. Evans, K. L. Page, J. P. Osborne +8
We present the 2SXPS (Swift-XRT Point Source) catalog, containing 206,335 point sources detected by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) in the 0.3--10 keV energy range. This catalog re…
IACHEC Cross-Calibration of Chandra, NuSTAR, Swift, Suzaku, and XMM-Newton with 3C 273 and PKS 2155-304
Kristin K. Madsen, Andrew P. Beardmore, Karl Forster +5
On behalf of the International Astronomical Consortium for High Energy Calibration (IACHEC), we present results from the cross-calibration campaigns in 2012 on 3C 273 and in 2013 o…
SNR 1E 0102.2-7219 as an X-ray Calibration Standard in the 0.5-1.0 keV Bandpass and Its Application to the CCD Instruments aboard Chandra, Suzaku, Swift and XMM-Newton
Paul P. Plucinsky, Andrew P. Beardmore, Adam Foster +4
We desire a simple comparison of the absolute effective areas of the current generation of CCD instruments onboard the following observatories: Chandra ACIS-S3, XMM-Newton (EPIC-MO…
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…
