Taralli, E. (author), de Wit, M. (author), Gottardi, L. (author), Nagayoshi, K. (author), Visser, S. (author), Ridder, M.L. (author), Akamatsu, H. (author), Vaccaro, D. (author), Gao, J.R. (author)Large arrays of transition edge sensors (TESs) are the baseline for a number of future space observatories. For instance, the X-ray integral field unit (X-IFU) instrument on board the ATHENA space telescope will consist of ∼ 3000 TESs with high energy resolution (2eV at X-ray energies up to 7 keV). In this contribution we report on the...journal article 2022

Nagayoshi, K. (author), de Wit, M. (author), Taralli, E. (author), Visser, S. (author), Ridder, M. L. (author), Gottardi, L. (author), Akamatsu, H. (author), Vaccaro, D. (author), Gao, J.R. (author)We report measured T<sub>c</sub> of superconducting Ti/Au bilayer strips with a width W varying from 5 to 50 µm. The strips were fabricated based on a Ti/Au bilayer that consists of a 41-nm-thick Ti layer to which a 280-nm-thick Au layer was added. We find that the T<sub>c</sub> drops as W decreases and the declining trend almost perfectly...journal article 2022

(author)The space mission MICROSCOPE dedicated to the test of the equivalence principle (EP) operated from April 25, 2016 until the deactivation of the satellite on October 16, 2018. In this analysis we compare the free-fall accelerations (a <sub>A</sub> and a <sub>B</sub>) of two test masses in terms of the Eötvös parameter η ( A,B ) = 2 a A − a B a...journal article 2022

Carzana, L. (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Heiligers, M.J. (author)Solar sailing is a spacecraft propulsion method relying solely on solar radiation pressure to provide thrust and is therefore propellantless by nature. Although it represents a practical and promising propulsion system particularly suited for heliocentric flight regimes, the majority of sailcraft missions flown to date have remained Earth...journal article 2022

Li, Z. (author), Homborg, A.M. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Kosari, A. (author), Visser, Peter (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)The formation process of a lithium-based conversion layer on AA2024-T3 and its corrosion protective behavior are studied using electrochemical noise (EN). Wavelet transform, as well as noise resistance analysis, have been employed to interpret the EN data. The EN data confirmed five different stages during the conversion layer growth,...journal article 2022

(author)Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the most common form of preinvasive breast cancer and, despite treatment, a small fraction (5–10%) of DCIS patients develop subsequent invasive disease. A fundamental biologic question is whether the invasive disease arises from tumor cells in the initial DCIS or represents new unrelated disease. To address...journal article 2022

With a predominantly strike-slip mechanism, the question remains whether this unexpected tsunami was generated by the earthquake itself, or rather by earthquake-induced landslides. In this study we examine the...journal article 2022

van der Rest, C.R. (author), Poulsen, C.B. (author), Rouvoet, A.J. (author), Visser, Eelco (author), Mosses, P.D. (author)Specifying and mechanically verifying type safe programming languages requires significant effort. This effort can in theory be reduced by defining and reusing pre-verified, modular components. In practice, however, existing approaches to modular mechanical verification require many times as much specification code as plain, monolithic...journal article 2022

Doijode, P.S. (author), Hickel, S. (author), van Terwisga, T.J.C. (author), Visser, K. (author)This paper introduces a machine learning approach for optimizing propellers. The method aims to improve the computational cost of optimization by reducing the number of evaluations required to find solutions. This is achieved by directing the search towards design clusters with good performance, i.e. high propulsive efficiency and low...journal article 2022

Meinke, K. (author), Stam, D.M. (author), Visser, P.M. (author)Context. In the near future, dedicated telescopes will observe Earth-like exoplanets in reflected parent starlight, allowing their physical characterization. Because of the huge distances, every exoplanet will remain an unresolved, single pixel, but temporal variations in the pixel’s spectral flux contain information about the planet’s surface...journal article 2022

Fayolle-Chambe, M.S. (author), Dirkx, D. (author), Lainey, V. (author), Gurvits, L. (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author)When reconstructing natural satellites' ephemerides from space missions' tracking data, the dynamics of the spacecraft and natural bodies are often solved for separately, in a decoupled manner. Alternatively, the ephemeris generation and spacecraft orbit determination can be performed concurrently. This method directly maps the available data...journal article 2022

Zwaan, A.S. (author), van Antwerpen, H. (author), Visser, Eelco (author)Fast analysis response times in IDEs are essential for a good editor experience. Incremental type-checking can provide that in a scalable fashion. However, existing techniques are not reusable between languages. Moreover, mutual and dynamic dependencies preclude traditional approaches to incrementality. This makes finding automatic approaches to...journal article 2022

Visser, Janneke (author)Often, the current housing stock does not address problems of social isolation at this moment in time. For example, dwellings are designed as interior spaces and the route towards the home is often an unpleasant and boring one. It is important for architects and designers to have positive impulses and guidelines to address these problems. To...master thesis 2021
