Next: Field of View Up: CCD Scientific Performance Previous: Back Illumination . The CCD acts as a storage medium, and with frame times of the order seconds, there is no obvious method of employing prompt co-incidence rejection of charged particle events. ... In conventional CCDs, a m track length results in an equivalent energy deposition of 5 - 6 keV, and significant confusion with X-ray events arises. ... A trade-off between rejection efficiency and spectroscopic efficiency is required. ...

Born in the UK, and following degrees at the Univerities of Bristol and Sussex, Martin Elvis got his PhD under Prof. Ken Pounds at the University of Leicester (UK) in 1978 for work with the Ariel V satellite. Ariel V was only the 2nd satellite to be devoted to X-ray astronomy. ... His PhD thesis demonstrated that powerful X-ray emission was a normal feature of Active Galactic Nuclei (or "AGN"). AGN X-ray emission has been a lively area of research ever since. ...

Estimating the NEO Population and Impact Risk: Past, Present and Future . ... The detailed analyses of the 2003 NASA SDT report estimated a "persons affected" rate of ~182 per year associated with impact tsunami. ... Here we re-evaluate the impact hazard, using our new population and completion estimates, and revised "kill curves" including the airburst damage down to smaller size and lower tsunami fatality rate. ...

... These sources are much more likely to be gravitationally lensed by intervening galaxies as compared with sources discovered in surveys in other wavebands. ... The effect of lensing by clusters is then discussed briefly. This is expected to increase the source confusion noise in a Planck survey in the directions of clusters, and could provide information about galaxies with flux densities that are too faint to be detected directly by Planck . ... 2 The properties of galaxy--galaxy lensing . ...

... Acceleration of particles in the vicinity of a massive black hole We propose a two-step mechanism for charged particle acceleration in the magnetosphere of a massive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. Particles first gain energy by stochastic process during the accretion phase. It is shown that effective proton acceleration up to energies eV is possible in the turbulent magnetized accretion disk. ...
