Abstract We present the instrument simulator developed for X-ray Integral Field Unit X-IFU aboard planned Athena mission. aims to be an accurate representation of entire instrument, starting from a full simulation Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) array receiving impact photons unconstrained by small signal limit. Its output current is then propagated through readout chain, including multiplexing, a...

The emergence of adaptive interfaces [Benyon 1993, Benyon & Murray 1988] provides a satisfactory framework for taking into account users heterogeneity. In adapting to the user’s characteristics, these interfaces could, in principle, minimize training and support costs, as well as improve user’s satisfaction and productiveness. However, so far, there is no general agreement on adaptive interface...

Abstract Chemistry plays a key role in many aspects of astrophysical fluids. Atoms and molecules are agents for heating cooling, determine the ionization fraction, serve as observational tracers, build molecular foundation life. We present implementation chemistry module publicly available magnetohydrodynamic code Athena++ . implement several chemical networks cooling processes suitable simulat...
