Updates on the background estimates for the X-IFU instrument onboard of the ATHENA mission
Simone Lotti, Claudio Macculi, Matteo D'Andrea +10
ATHENA, with a launch foreseen in 2028 towards the L2 orbit, addresses the science theme "The Hot and Energetic Universe", coupling a high-performance X-ray Telescope with two comp…
The silicon micro-strip detector plane for the LOFT/Wide Field Monitor
A. Goldwurm, P. Ferrando, D. Götz +21
The main objective of the Wide Field Monitor (WFM) on the LOFT mission is to provide unambiguous detection of the high-energy sources in a large field of view, in order to support…
Progress and Validation of Geant4 Based Radioactive Decay Simulation Using the Examples of Simbol-X and IXO
S. Hauf, M. Kuster, M. G. Pia +10
The anticipated high sensitivity and the science goals of the next generation X-ray space missions, like the International X-ray Observatory or Simbol-X, rely on a low instrumental…
Particle Effects on the ISGRI Instrument On-Board the INTEGRAL Satellite
Arnaud Claret, Olivier Limousin, Francis Lugiez +2
The INTEGRAL satellite was launched on October 17, 2002. All on-board instruments are operating successfully. In this paper, we focus on radiation effects on the Cadmium Telluride…
ISGRI: the INTEGRAL Soft Gamma-Ray Imager
F. Lebrun, J. -P. Leray, P. Lavocat +21
For the first time in the history of high energy astronomy, a large CdTe gamma-ray camera is operating in space. ISGRI is the low-energy camera of the IBIS telescope on board the I…
In flight calibration of the ISGRI camera
Regis Terrier, F. Lebrun, A. Bazzano +12
ISGRI, the IBIS low energy camera (15 keV - 1 MeV) on board INTEGRAL, is the first large CdTe gamma-ray imager in orbit. We present here an overview of the ISGRI in-flight calibrat…
