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.…
Exploring Fine Subpixel Spatial Resolution of Hybrid CMOS Detectors
Evan Bray, Abraham Falcone, Samuel V. Hull +1
When an X-ray is incident onto the silicon absorber array of a detector, it liberates a large number of electrons, which tend to diffuse outward into what is referred to as the cha…
BlackCAT CubeSat: A Soft X-ray Sky Monitor, Transient Finder, and Burst Detector for High-energy and Multimessenger Astrophysics
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Abraham D. Falcone, David N. Burrows +2
Here we present the conceptual design of a wide field imager onboard a 6U class CubeSat platform for the study of GRB prompt and afterglow emission and detection of electromagnetic…
X-ray Hybrid CMOS Detectors: Recent Development and Characterization Progress
Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Abraham D. Falcone, David N. Burrows +8
X-ray Hybrid CMOS Detectors (HCDs) have advantages over X-ray CCDs due to their higher readout rate abilities, flexible readout, inherent radiation hardness, and low power, which m…
