Mitigating the effects of particle background on the Athena Wide-Field Imager
Eric D. Miller, Catherine E. Grant, Marshall W. Bautz +16
The Wide Field Imager (WFI) flying on Athena will usher in the next era of studying the hot and energetic Universe. WFI observations of faint, diffuse sources will be limited by un…
First results on SiSeRO (Single electron Sensitive Read Out) devices -- a new X-ray detector for scientific instrumentation
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Barry Burke +11
We present an evaluation of a novel on-chip charge detector, called the Single electron Sensitive Read Out (SiSeRO), for charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor applications. It u…
Identifying charged particle background events in X-ray imaging detectors with novel machine learning algorithms
D. R. Wilkins, S. W. Allen, E. D. Miller +8
Space-based X-ray detectors are subject to significant fluxes of charged particles in orbit, notably energetic cosmic ray protons, contributing a significant background. We develop…
The Athena WFI Science Products Module
David N. Burrows, Steven Allen, Marshall Bautz +15
The Science Products Module (SPM), a US contribution to the Athena Wide Field Imager, is a highly capable secondary CPU that performs special processing on the science data stream.…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
