Geant4 simulation of the residual background in the ATHENA Wide Field Imager from protons deflected by the Charged Particle Diverter
Gábor Galgóczi, Jean-Paul Breuer, Valentina Fioretti +11
X-ray telescopes opened up a new window into the high-energy universe. However, the last generation of these telescopes encountered an unexpected problem: their optics focused not…
Localization of Gamma-Ray Bursts using the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
V. Connaughton, M. S. Briggs, A. Goldstein +25
The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has detected over 1400 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) since it began science operations in July, 2008. We use a subset of over 300 GRBs localized b…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) for Athena+
A. Rau, N. Meidinger, K. Nandra +20
The Wide Field Imager (WFI) is one of the two scientific instruments proposed for the Athena+ X-ray observatory. It will provide imaging in the 0.1-15 keV band over a wide field, s…
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
Charles Meegan, Giselher Lichti, P. N. Bhat +18
The Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) will significantly augment the science return from the Fermi Observatory in the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The primary objective of GBM is…
