X-ray detection of a nova in the fireball phase
Ole König, Jörn Wilms, Riccardo Arcodia +17
Novae are caused by runaway thermonuclear burning in the hydrogen-rich envelopes of accreting white dwarfs, which results in the envelope to expand rapidly and to eject most of its…
Stratospheric Balloons as a Complement to the Next Generation of Astronomy Missions
Philipp Maier, Maria Ångerman, Jürgen Barnstedt +23
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is for example the case for high spatial resolution far infrared astr…
Stratospheric balloons as a platform for the next large far infrared observatory
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Alfred Krabbe +21
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is the case for high spatial resolution far infrared (FIR) astronomy,…
Towards a European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory -- The ESBO Design Study
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Thomas Keilig +18
This paper presents the concept of a community-accessible stratospheric balloon-based observatory that is currently under preparation by a consortium of European research institute…
New X-ray observations of the hot subdwarf binary HD49798 / RXJ0648.0-4418
S. Mereghetti, F. Pintore, T. Rauch +7
HD49798 / RXJ0648.0-4418 is the only confirmed X-ray binary in which the mass donor is a hot subdwarf star of O spectral type and, most likely, it contains a massive white dwarf (1…
Status of the STUDIO UV balloon mission and platform
A. Pahler, M. Ångermann, J. Barnstedt +24
Stratospheric balloons offer accessible and affordable platforms for observations in atmosphere-constrained wavelength ranges. At the same time, they can serve as an effective step…
