The Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE): Pre-Launch
Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini +155
Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission w…
Exploring the MeV Sky with a Combined Coded Mask and Compton Telescope: The Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton Telescope (GECCO)
Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev +33
The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept that builds on and improves past and currently proposed missions at such energie…
Unveiling the Fermi Bubbles origin with MeV photon telescopes
Michela Negro, Henrike Fleischhack, Andreas Zoglauer +2
The Fermi Bubbles (FB) are a pair of large-scale ellipsoidal structures extending above and below the Galactic plane almost symmetrically aligned with the Galactic Center. After mo…
Improving the low-energy transient sensitivity of AMEGO-X using single-site events
I. Martinez-Castellanos, H. Fleischhack, C. Karwin +14
AMEGO-X, the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-Ray Observatory eXplorer, is a proposed instrument designed to bridge the so-called "MeV gap" by surveying the sky with unprecedented sensi…
Developing the Future of Gamma-ray Astrophysics with Monolithic Silicon Pixels
Isabella Brewer, Michela Negro, Nicolas Striebig +7
This paper explores the potential of AstroPix, a project to develop Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) pixels for the next generation of space-based high-energy astroph…
Fermi Large Area Telescope Performance After 10 Years Of Operation
The Fermi LAT Collaboration, M. Ajello, W. B. Atwood +126
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), the primary instrument for the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) mission, is an imaging, wide field-of-view, high-energy gamma-ray telescope,…
