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…
Susceptibility study of TES micro-calorimeters for X-ray spectroscopy under FDM readout
Davide Vaccaro, Hiroki Akamatsu, Luciano Gottardi +15
We present a characterization of the sensitivity of TES X-ray micro-calorimeters to environmental conditions under frequency-domain multiplexing (FDM) readout. In the FDM scheme, e…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
