Journal ArticleDOI
Impedance measurements and modeling of a transition-edge-sensor calorimeter
Mark A. Lindeman,Simon R. Bandler,Regis P. Brekosky,James A. Chervenak,Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano,Fred M. Finkbeiner,Mary J. Li,Caroline A. Kilbourne +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the complex impedance of a Mo/Au superconducting transition-edge-sensor (TES) calorimeter and obtained measurements of unprecedented accuracy of the heat capacity and the gradient of resistance with respect to temperature and current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of TES X-ray Microcalorimeters with a Novel Absorber Design
Simon R. Bandler,Regis P. Brekosky,Ari-David Brown,Jay Chervenak,Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano,F. M. Finkbeiner,Naoko Iyomoto,R. L. Kelley,Caroline A. Kilbourne,Frederick S. Porter,John E. Sadleir,Stephen J. Smith +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cantilevered absorber that makes contact to the TES only in regions that are not part of the active thermometer has been proposed to obtain uniform high performance and is compatible with large format, high fill-factor arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Close-packed Arrays of Transition-edge X-ray Microcalorimeters with High Spectral Resolution at 5.9 keV
Naoko Iyomoto,Naoko Iyomoto,Simon R. Bandler,Simon R. Bandler,Regis P. Brekosky,Regis P. Brekosky,Ari-David Brown,Jay Chervenak,F. M. Finkbeiner,R. L. Kelley,Caroline A. Kilbourne,Frederick S. Porter,John E. Sadleir,Stephen J. Smith,Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, high fill-factor arrays of superconducting transition-edge x-ray microcalorimeters are designed to provide rapid thermalization of the xray energy.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Grein,Christine A. Jhabvala,Richard L. Kelley,Dan Kelly,Maurice A. Leutenegger,Maurice A. Leutenegger,Dan McCammon,F. Scott Porter,Andrew Szymkowiak,Tomomi Watanabe,Tomomi Watanabe,J. Zhao +21 more
TL;DR: The Hitomi Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) was designed to provide unprecedented spectral resolution of spatially extended cosmic x-ray sources and of all cosmic xray sources in the Fe-K band around 6 keV, enabling essential plasma diagnostics as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Laboratory astrophysics using a spare XRS microcalorimeter
Frederick S. Porter,Michael D. Audley,Peter Beiersdorfer,Kevin R. Boyce,Regis P. Brekosky,Gregory V. Brown,Keith C. Gendreau,J. Gygax,Steven M. Kahn,Richard L. Kelley,Caroline Kilbourn Stahle,Andrew E. Szymkowiak +11 more
TL;DR: The XRS instrument on Astro-E is a fully self-contained microcalorimeter x-ray instrument capable of acquiring optimally filtering, and characterizing events for 32 independent pixels as discussed by the authors.
