We present measurements of the afterglow signatures in NaI(Tl) and CsI(Tl) detector modules as part Background Transient Observer (BTO) mission trade-study. BTO is a NASA Student Collaboration Project flying on Compton Spectrometer Imager (COSI) Small Explorer 2027. The detectors utilized this study are cylindrical shape with height diameter 5.1 cm were read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). conducted radiation campaign at HIMAC accelerator Japan where scintillators irradiated 230...
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a NASA Small Explorer (SMEX) satellite mission in development with planned launch 2027. COSI wide-field gamma-ray telescope designed to survey the entire sky at 0.2-5 MeV. It provides imaging, spectroscopy, polarimetry of astrophysical sources, its germanium detectors provide excellent energy resolution for emission line measurements. Science goals include studies 0.511 MeV from antimatter annihilation Galaxy, mapping radioactive elements...
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a NASA funded Small Explorer (SMEX) mission slated to launch in 2027. COSI will house wide-field gamma-ray telescope designed survey the entire sky 0.2-5 MeV range. Using germanium detectors, instrument provide imaging, spectroscopy, polarimetry of astrophysical sources with excellent energy resolution degree-scale localization capabilities. In addition main instrument, fly student collaboration project known as Background Transient Observer...
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a selected Small Explorer (SMEX) mission launching in 2027. It consists of large field-of-view telescope that will probe with increased sensitivity the under-explored MeV gamma-ray sky (0.2-5 MeV). We present current status cosipy, Python library perform spectral polarization fits, image deconvolution, all high-level analysis tasks required by COSI's broad science goals: uncovering origin Galactic positrons, mapping sites nucleosynthesis,...
