Reducing the Athena WFI charged particle background: Results from Geant4 simulations
Catherine E. Grant, Eric D. Miller, Marshall W. Bautz +9
One of the science goals of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on ESA's Athena X-ray observatory is to map hot gas structures in the universe, such as clusters and groups of galaxies and…
Comparing simulations and test data of a radiation damaged charge-couple device for the Euclid mission
Jesper Skottfelt, David Hall, Jason Gow +3
The VIS instrument on board the Euclid mission is a weak-lensing experiment that depends on very precise shape measurements of distant galaxies obtained by a large CCD array. Due t…
Theia: Faint objects in motion or the new astrometry frontier
The Theia Collaboration, Celine Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +96
In the context of the ESA M5 (medium mission) call we proposed a new satellite mission, Theia, based on relative astrometry and extreme precision to study the motion of very faint…
Gaia data release 1, the photometric data
F. van Leeuwen, D. W. Evans, F. De Angeli +91
Context. This paper presents an overview of the photometric data that are part of the first Gaia data release. Aims. The principles of the processing and the main characteristics o…
VIS: the visible imager for Euclid
Mark Cropper, S. Pottinger, S. Niemi +33
Euclid-VIS is the large format visible imager for the ESA Euclid space mission in their Cosmic Vision program, scheduled for launch in 2020. Together with the near infrared imaging…
The Hera Saturn Entry Probe Mission
O. Mousis, D. H. Atkinson, T. Spilker +41
The Hera Saturn entry probe mission is proposed as an M--class mission led by ESA with a contribution from NASA. It consists of one atmospheric probe to be sent into the atmosphere…
First results from a next-generation off-plane X-ray diffraction grating
Randall McEntaffer, Casey DeRoo, Ted Schultz +13
Future NASA X-ray spectroscopy missions will require high throughput, high resolution grating spectrometers. Off-plane reflection gratings are capable of meeting the performance re…
ORIGIN: Metal Creation and Evolution from the Cosmic Dawn
J. W. den Herder, L. Piro, T. Ohashi +156
ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGI…
Modelling Gaia CCD pixels with Silvaco 3D engineering software
G. M. Seabroke, T. Prod'homme, G. Hopkinson +3
Gaia will only achieve its unprecedented measurement accuracy requirements with detailed calibration and correction for radiation damage. We present our Silvaco 3D engineering soft…
