We are developing small pitch transition-edge sensor (TES) X-ray detectors optimized for
solar astronomy. These devices are fabricated on thick Si substrates with embedded Cu …

Understanding the physical properties of the superconducting-to-normal transition is
fundamental for optimizing the design and performance of transition-edge sensors (TESs) …

The Origins Space Telescope is one of four flagship missions under study for the 2020
Astrophysics Decadal Survey. With a 5.9-m cold (4.5 K) telescope deployed from space …

In the early 2030s, ESAs new x-ray observatory, Athena, is scheduled to be launched. It will
carry two main instruments, one of which is the x-ray integral field unit (X-IFU), an x-ray …

Direct spectroscopic biosignature characterization (hereafter “biosignature characterization”)
will be a major focus for future space observatories equipped with coronagraphs or …

For the past 15 years, the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search or CDMS has searched for Weekly
Interacting Massive Particle dark matter (WIMPs) using Ge and Si semiconductor crystals …

In transition-edge sensors (TESs), the addition of normal metal stripes on top of the
superconducting bilayer, perpendicular to the current direction, is known to globally alter the …

Following our development of a superconducting transition-edge-sensor (TES)
microcalorimeter design that en-ables reproducible, high performance (routinely better than …

We are developing the frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) read-out of transition-edge
sensor (TES) microcalorimeters for the X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) instrument on board …

We report on the development of position-sensitive transition-edge sensors (PoST's) for
future X-ray astronomy missions such as the International X-ray Observatory (IXO), under …
