CubeSats for Gamma-Ray Astronomy
Peter F. Bloser, David Murphy, Fabrizio Fiore +1
After many years of flying in space primarily for educational purposes, CubeSats - tiny satellites with form factors corresponding to arrangements of "1U" units, or cubes, each 10…
Performance Evaluation of Pulse Shape Discrimination Capable Organic Scintillators for Space Applications
M. I. Pinilla-Orjuela, K. E. Mesick, P. F. Bloser +1
Scintillators with pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) capability are of great interest to many fields in the scientific community. The ability to discern a gamma ray from a neutron u…
Ex Luna, Scientia: The Lunar Occultation eXplorer (LOX)
R. S. Miller, M. Ajello, J. F. Beacom +16
LOX is a lunar-orbiting astrophysics mission that will probe the cosmos at MeV energies. It is guided by open questions regarding thermonuclear, or Type-Ia, supernovae (SNeIa) and…
Gamma-rays from kilonova: a potential probe of r-process nucleosynthesis
Oleg Korobkin, Aimee M. Hungerford, Christopher L. Fryer +11
The mergers of compact binaries with at least one neutron star component are the potential leading sites of the production and ejection of -process elements. Discoveries of gala…
Catching Element Formation In The Act
Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216
Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
A Pair Production Telescope for Medium-Energy Gamma-Ray Polarimetry
Stanley D. Hunter, Peter F. Bloser, Gerardo O. Depaola +10
We describe the science motivation and development of a pair production telescope for medium-energy gamma-ray polarimetry. Our instrument concept, the Advanced Energetic Pair Teles…
