Athena X-IFU synthetic observations of galaxy clusters to probe the chemical enrichment of the Universe
E. Cucchetti, E. Pointecouteau, P. Peille +14
Answers to the metal production of the Universe can be found in galaxy clusters, notably within their Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM). The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the…
X-ray Structure between the Innermost Disk and Optical Broad Line Region in NGC 4151
J. M. Miller, E. Cackett, A. Zoghbi +9
We present an analysis of the narrow Fe K-alpha line in Chandra/HETGS observations of the Seyfert AGN, NGC 4151. The sensitivity and resolution afforded by the gratings reveal asym…
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…
Testing the X-IFU calibration requirements: an example for quantum efficiency and energy resolution
Edoardo Cucchetti, François Pajot, Etienne Pointecouteau +9
With its array of 3840 Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) operated at 90 mK, the X-Ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the ESA L2 mission Athena will provide spatially resolved hi…
Reproducibility and monitoring of the instrumental particle background for the X-Ray Integral Field Unit
Edoardo Cucchetti, Etienne Pointecouteau, Didier Barret +7
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the cryogenic imaging spectrometer on board the future X-ray observatory \textsl{Athena}. With a hexagonal array of 3840 AC-biased Transiti…
A luminous X-ray outburst from an intermediate-mass black hole in an off-centre star cluster
Dacheng Lin, Jay Strader, Eleazar R. Carrasco +13
A unique signature for the presence of massive black holes in very dense stellar regions is occasional giant-amplitude outbursts of multiwavelength radiation from tidal disruption…
