The LOFT mission: new perspectives in the research field of (accreting) compact objects
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, M. van der Klis +6
LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, is one of five ESA M3 candidate missions. It will address the Cosmic Vision theme: "Matter under Extreme Conditions". By coupling for…
Calibration of AGILE-GRID with In-Flight Data and Monte Carlo Simulations
Andrew W. Chen, A. Argan, A. Bulgarelli +57
Context: AGILE is a gamma-ray astrophysics mission which has been in orbit since 23 April 2007 and continues to operate reliably. The gamma-ray detector, AGILE-GRID, has observed G…
A setup for soft proton irradiation of X-ray detectors for future astronomical space missions
Sebastian Diebold, Philipp Azzarello, Ettore Del Monte +10
Protons that are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field are one of the main threats to astronomical X-ray observatories. Soft protons, in the range from tens of keV up to a few MeV,…
Background simulations for the Large Area Detector onboard LOFT
R. Campana, M. Feroci, E. Del Monte +3
The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT), currently in an assessment phase in the framework the ESA M3 Cosmic Vision programme, is an innovative medium-class mission specifica…
