Abstract

Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is for example the case for high spatial resolution far infrared astronomy, currently still face technological limits for their execution from space. The high cost and finality of space missions furthermore call for a very low risk approach and entail long development times. For certain spectral regions, prominently including the mid- to far-infrared as well as parts of the ultraviolet, stratospheric balloons offer a flexible and affordable complement to space telescopes, with short development times and comparatively good observing conditions. Yet, the entry burden to use balloon-borne telescopes is high, with research groups typically having to shoulder part of the infrastructure development as well. Aiming to ease access to balloon-based observations, we present the efforts towards a community-accessible balloon-based observatory, the European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory (ESBO). ESBO aims at complementing space-based and airborne capabilities over the next 10-15 years and at adding to the current landscape of scientific ballooning activities by providing a service-centered infrastructure for broader astronomical use, performing regular flights and offering an operations concept that provides researchers with a similar proposal-based access to observation time as practiced on ground-based observatories. We present details on the activities planned towards the goal of ESBO, the current status of the STUDIO (Stratospheric UV Demonstrator of an Imaging Observatory) prototype platform and mission, as well as selected technology developments with extensibility potential to space missions undertaken for STUDIO., Comment: Proc. 71st International Astronautical Congress, 12-14 October 2020. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2012.14215, arXiv:2202.04580

Abstract

Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is the case for high spatial resolution far infrared (FIR) astronomy, currently still face technological limits for their execution from space. Angular resolution and available observational capabilities are particularly affected. Balloon-based platforms promise to complement the existing observational capabilities by offering means to deploy comparatively large telescopes with comparatively little effort, including other advantages such as the possibility to regularly refill cryogens and to change and/or update instruments. The planned European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory (ESBO) aims at providing these additional large aperture FIR capabilities, exceeding the spatial resolution of Herschel, in the long term. The plans focus on reusable platforms performing regular flights and an operations concept that provides researchers with proposal-based access to observations. It thereby aims at offering a complement to other airborne, ground-based and space-based observatories in terms of access to wavelength regions, spatial resolution capability, and photometric stability. While the FIR capabilities are a main long-term objective, ESBO will offer benefits in other wavelength regimes along the way. Within the ESBO Design Study (ESBO DS), a prototype platform carrying a 0.5 m telescope for ultraviolet and visible light observations is being built and a platform concept for a next-generation FIR telescope is being studied. A flight of the UV/VIS prototype platform is estimated for 2021. In this paper we will outline the scientific and technical motivation for a large aperture balloon-based FIR observatory and the ESBO DS approach towards such an infrastructure. Secondly, we will present the technical motivation, science case, and instrumentation of the 0.5 m UV/VIS platform., Comment: Proc. 69th International Astronautical Congress, 1-5 October 2018. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2111.11068

Abstract

This paper presents the concept of a community-accessible stratospheric balloon-based observatory that is currently under preparation by a consortium of European research institutes and industry. The planned European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory (ESBO) aims at complementing the current landscape of scientific ballooning activities by providing a service-centered infrastructure tailored towards broad astronomical use. In particular, the concept focuses on reusable platforms with exchangeable instruments and telescopes performing regular flights and an operations concept that provides researchers with options to test and operate own instruments, but later on also a proposal-based access to observations. It thereby aims at providing a complement to ground-, space-based, and airborne observatories in terms of access to wavelength regimes - particularly the ultraviolet (UV) and far infrared (FIR) regimes -, spatial resolution capability, and photometric stability. Within the currently ongoing ESBO Design Study (ESBO DS), financed within the European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme, a prototype platform carrying a 0.5-m telescope for UV and visible light observations is being built and concepts for larger following platforms, leading up to a next-generation FIR telescope are being studied. A flight of the UV/visible prototype platform is currently foreseen for 2021. We present the technical motivation, science case, instrumentation, and a two-stage image stabilization approach of the 0.5-m UV/visible platform. In addition, we briefly describe the novel mid-sized stabilized balloon gondola under design to carry telescopes in the 0.5 to 0.6 m range as well as the currently considered flight option for this platform. Secondly, we outline the scientific and technical motivation for a large balloon-based FIR telescope and the ESBO DS approach towards such an infrastructure., Comment: Proc.

Abstract

In October 2019, the central 28 m telescope of the H.E.S.S. experiment has been upgraded with a new camera. The camera is based on the FlashCam design which has been developed in view of a possible future implementation in the Medium-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), with emphasis on cost and performance optimization and on reliability. The fully digital design of the trigger and readout system makes it possible to operate the camera at high event rates and to precisely adjust and understand the trigger system. The novel design of the front-end electronics achieves a dynamic range of over 3,000 photoelectrons with only one electronics readout circuit per pixel. Here we report on the performance parameters of the camera obtained during the first year of operation in the field, including operational stability and optimization of calibration algorithms., Comment: Proceedings of the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2021)

Abstract

The Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics in T\"ubingen (IAAT) has a long-term experience in developing and building space-qualified imaging and photon counting microchannel-plate (MCP) detectors, which are sensitive in the ultraviolet wavelength range. Our goal is to achieve high quantum efficiency and spatial resolution, while maintaining solar blindness and low-noise characteristics. Our flexible detector design is currently tailored to the specific needs of three missions: For the ESBO DS (European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory Design Study) we provide a sealed detector to the STUDIO instrument (Stratospheric Ultraviolet Demonstrator of an Imaging Observatory), a 50 cm telescope with a UV imager for operation at an altitude of 37-41 km. In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Astrophysics we plan a space mission with a CubeSat-sized far-ultraviolet spectroscopic imaging instrument, featuring an open version of our detector. A Chinese mission, led by the Purple Mountain Observatory, comprises a multi-channel imager using open and sealed detector versions. Our MCP detector has a cesium activated p-doped gallium-nitride photocathode. Other photocathode materials like cesium-telluride or potassium-bromide could be used as an alternative. For the sealed version, the photocathode is operated in semi-transparent mode on a MgF$_2$ window with a cut-off wavelength of about 118 nm. For missions requiring sensitivity below this cut-off, we are planning an open version. We employ a coplanar cross-strip anode and advanced low-power readout electronics with a 128-channel charge-amplifier chip. This publication focuses on the progress concerning the main development challenges: the optimization of the photocathode parameters and the sophisticated detector electronics., Comment: Proc.

Abstract

The CAFE (Census of warm-hot intergalactic medium, Accretion, and Feedback Explorer) and LyRIC (Lyman UV Radiation from Interstellar medium and Circum-galactic medium) have been proposed to the space agencies in China respectively. CAFE was first proposed in 2015 as a joint scientific CAS-ESA small space mission. LyRIC was proposed in 2019 as an independent external payload operating on the Chinese Space Station. Both missions are dedicated to mapping the Lyman UV emission (ionized oxygen (O VI) resonance lines at 103.2 and 103.8 nm, and Lyman series) for the diffuse sources in our Galaxy and the circum-galactic mediums of the nearby galaxies. We present the primary science objectives, mission concepts, the enabling technologies, as well as the current status., Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2020 conference Paper No. 11444-4

Abstract

In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. The mission aims at determining the equation of state of matter at supra-nuclear density, measuring effects of QED, and understanding the dynamics of matter in strong-field gravity. In addition to investigating fundamental physics, eXTP will be a very powerful observatory for astrophysics that will provide observations of unprecedented quality on a variety of galactic and extragalactic objects. In particular, its wide field monitoring capabilities will be highly instrumental to detect the electro-magnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources. The paper provides a detailed description of: (1) the technological and technical aspects, and the expected performance of the instruments of the scientific payload; (2) the elements and functions of the mission, from the spacecraft to the ground segment., Comment: Accepted for publication on Sci. China Phys. Mech. Astron. (2019)

Abstract

Expatriate transfers often led to serious tax consequences for both the expatriated worker and his German employer. Most expatriates working in Germany are subjected to double taxation, particularly when their home country has double taxation treaty with their host nation. This forces many German firms to provide such employees with additional benefits to compensate for the heavy taxes imposed upon them.

Abstract

In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. The mission aims at determining the equation of state of matter at supra-nuclear density, measuring effects of QED, and understanding the dynamics of matter in strong-field gravity. In addition to investigating fundamental physics, eXTP will be a very powerful observatory for astrophysics that will provide observations of unprecedented quality on a variety of galactic and extragalactic objects. In particular, its wide field monitoring capabilities will be highly instrumental to detect the electro-magnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources. The paper provides a detailed description of: (1) the technological and technical aspects, and the expected performance of the instruments of the scientific payload; (2) the elements and functions of the mission, from the spacecraft to the ground segment.

43. UV MCP Detectors for WSO-UV: Cross Strip Anode and Readout Electronics.

Abstract

The main instrument of the WSO-UV satellite covers the wavelength range of 102–176 nm and 174–310 nm with two high resolution echelle spectrographs. The essential requirements for the associated detectors are high quantum efficiency, solar blindness, and single photon detection. To achieve this, we are developing microchannel plate (MCP) detectors in sealed tubes. It is planned to use cesium activated gallium nitride as semitransparent photocathode, a stack of two microchannel plates in chevron configuration, and a 33 mm \times 44 mm cross strip anode with 64 horizontal and 64 vertical electrodes. This type of anode requires a lower gain of the MCPs (\approx 10^6) compared to other types of anodes. Therefore, it extends the expected lifetime of the detectors to about five to ten years.
