The post-doctorate research to be carried out by the candidate will concentrate on the development of the space experiment MIRAX (Monitor e Imageador de Raios X) and in the completion and launch of a prototype, protoMIRAX, at balloon altitudes (~42 km), to test the detectors and other subsystems in a near-space environment. MIRAX will be mounted on an INPE satellite that will be launched …
The study will be divided essentially into two parts in parallel. The first is to develop computational techniques of Monte Carlo simulations to study in detail the performance and sensitivity of X-ray space observatories, especially aplied to the experiments protoMIRAX and MIRAX, of INPE. In the second part, the candidate will develop software tools for analysis of astrophysical X-ray da…
