Signal readout for Transition-Edge Sensor X-ray imaging spectrometers
H. Akamatsu, W. B. Doriese, J. A. B. Mates +1
Arrays of low-temperature microcalorimeters provide a promising technology for X-ray astrophysics: the imaging spectrometer. A camera with at least several thousand pixels, each of…
Frequency Shift Algorithm: Application to a Frequency-Domain Multiplexing Readout of X-ray Transition-Edge Sensor Microcalorimeters
D. Vaccaro, H. Akamatsu, J. van der Kuur +17
In the frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) scheme, transition-edge sensors (TES) are individually coupled to superconducting LC filters and AC biased at MHz frequencies through a c…
The SAFARI Detector System
Michael D. Audley, Gert de Lange, Jian-Rong Gao +9
We give an overview of the baseline detector system for SAFARI, the prime focal-plane instrument on board the proposed space infrared observatory, SPICA. SAFARI's detectors are bas…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Thien Lam Trong, Jan-Willem den Herder +100
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer of the ESA Athena X-ray observatory. Over a field of view of 5' equivalent diameter, it will deliver…
SPICA - a large cryogenic infrared space telescope Unveiling the obscured Universe
P. R. Roelfsema, H. Shibai, L. Armus +66
Measurements in the infrared wavelength domain allow us to assess directly the physical state and energy balance of cool matter in space, thus enabling the detailed study of the va…
The ALMA Band 9 receiver - Design, construction, characterization, and first light
A. M. Baryshev, R. Hesper, F. P. Mena +24
We describe the design, construction, and characterization of the Band 9 heterodyne receivers (600-720 GHz) for the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA). The ALMA…
