The INTErnational Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory: INTEGRAL Highlights
Ubertini, Pietro; Bazzano, Angela
The INTEGRAL Space Observatory was selected as the second Medium size mission (M2) of the ESAs Horizon 2000 vision programme. INTEGRAL is the first high angular and spectral resolution hard X-ray and soft γ-ray observatory with a wide band spectral response ranging from 3 keV up to 10 MeV energy band. This capability is supplemented by an unpreced…
Ground calibrations of the Solar Intensity X-ray Spectrometer (SIXS) on board BepiColombo
Andersson, H.; Alha, L.; Huovelin, J. +4 more
In this paper we present the methods, results, and analysis of the BepiColombo SIXS instruments' ground calibrations. The aim of these calibrations was to characterize the performance of the three SIXS X-ray detectors to enable reliable spectral analysis of the solar X-ray data. The ground calibrations for characterizing the performance of the thr…
