Soft proton experiments supporting the development of astronomical X-ray instrumentation
S. J. Diebold, B. Heß, F. Pfeifle +11
Orbital soft protons can severely degrade the performance of astronomical X-ray observatories. On the one hand, they may cause permanent radiation damage to X-ray detectors; on the…
The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey DR2: Cumulative X-ray catalogues from the first three surveys and multi-wavelength counterparts in the western Galactic hemisphere
M. E. Ramos-Ceja, G. Lamer, M. Salvato +111
The eROSITA telescope array on board the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission began its all-sky survey program in December 2019, scanning the sky at an approximately six-month cad…
High-statistics simulations of NewAthena WFI background using Geant4
Matthew K. Heine, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +14
The observation of hot gas structures is one science goal of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's NewAthena X-ray observatory. Because the measurement of these faint diffuse source…
Ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars as sources of TeV neutrinos
L. Ducci, E. Perinati, P. Romano +4
We explored the expected properties of the neutrino emission from accreting neutron stars in X-ray binaries using numerical simulations. The simulations are based on a model in whi…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
Using the XMM-Newton small window mode to investigate systematic uncertainties in the particle background of X-ray charge-coupled device detectors
Gerrit Schellenberger, Ralph Kraft, Paul Nulsen +17
The level and uncertainty of the particle induced background in CCD detectors plays a crucial role for future X-ray instruments, such as the Wide Field Imager (WFI) onboard Athena.…
