The X-IFU is a revolutionary X-ray spectrometer, one of the two instruments of the European Space Agency’s future space telescope, Athena. It will observe with X-ray eyes, the hot and energetic Universe, a world of clusters of galaxies, black holes, and exploding stars.
Find the latest scientific publications related to X-IFU for the period May, June & July 2024 and links to ArXiv and Springer.
We were represented at the Communicating Astronomy with the Public Conference, held in Toulouse, Cité de l’espace on 24—28 June 2024 and online. It is the only large-scale and international conference for astronomy communication.
The publication is freely available on ArXiv.
"By improving spectral and angular resolutions, with such a large effective area, Athena X-IFU will represent a major step for X-ray astronomy."
Jiri Svoboda
Astronomer at the Astronomic Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences
"When Athena X-IFU will be launched, we will see things humans never observed before."
Kazuhisa Mitsuda
Board member
"Once Athena X-IFU will be launched, observation of the sky will be taken to a whole new level. The instrument should be able to reveal the origin of the universe!"
