چکیده

We are developing two-dimensional 16 × 25 pixel detector arrays of both unstressed and stressed Ge:Ga photoconduc-tive detectors for far-infrared astronomy from SOFIA. The arrays, based on earlier 5 × 5 detector arrays used on the KAO, will be for our new instrument, the Far Infrared Field Imaging Line Spectrometer (FIFI LS). The unstressed Ge:Ga detector array will cover the wavelength range from 40 to 120 µm, and the stressed Ge:Ga detector array from 120 to 210 µm. The detector arrays will be operated with multiplexed integrating amplifiers with cryogenic readout electronics located close to the detector arrays. The design of the stressed detector array and results of current measurements on several prototype 16 pixel linear arrays will be reported. They demonstrate the feasibility of the current concept. This paper does not include Figures due to astro-ph size limitations. Please download entire file at

We present a possible Cepheid-like luminosity estimator for the longduration gamma-ray bursts based on the variability of their light curves. We also present a preliminary application of this luminosity estimator to 907 long-duration bursts from the BATSE catalog.

GENIUS is a proposal for a large volume detector to search for rare events. An array of 40–400 ’naked’ HPGe detectors will be operated in a tank filled with ultrapure liquid nitrogen. After a description of performed technical studies of detector operation in liquid nitrogen and of Monte Carlo simulations of expected background components, the potential of GENIUS for detecting WIMP dark matter,...
