Concept study of a small Compton polarimeter to fly on a CubeSat
Yi-Chi Chang, Chien-Ying Yang, Hung-Hsiang Liang +5
Application of cubesats in astronomical observations has been getting more and more mature in recent years. Here we report a concept study of a small Compton polarimeter to fly on…
Feasibility of Observing Gamma-ray Polarization from Cygnus X-1 Using a CubeSat
Chien-Ying Yang, Yi-Chi Chang, Hung-Hsiang Liang +7
Instruments flown on CubeSats are small. Meaningful applications of CubeSats in astronomical observations rely on the choice of a particular subject that is feasible for CubeSats.…
Maximum Likelihood Compton Polarimetry with the Compton Spectrometer and Imager
Alexander W. Lowell, Steven E. Boggs, Jeng-Lun Chiu +11
Astrophysical polarization measurements in the soft gamma-ray band are becoming more feasible as detectors with high position and energy resolution are deployed. Previous work has…
Benchmarking COSI's detector effects engine
Clio C. Sleator, Steven E. Boggs, Jeng-Lun Chiu +11
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a balloon-borne gamma-ray (0.2-5 MeV) telescope with inherent sensitivity to polarization. COSI's main goal is to study astrophysical…
The 2016 Super Pressure Balloon flight of the Compton Spectrometer and Imager
Carolyn A. Kierans, Steven E. Boggs, Jeng-Lun Chiu +11
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a balloon-borne, soft-gamma ray imager, spectrometer, and polarimeter with sensitivity from 0.2 to 5 MeV. Utilizing a compact Compton…
