It also comprises a frequency synthesizer with which a binary frequency is generated to drive the Elapsed Time counter.The CCSDS Time Manager (CTM) synthesizable VHDL core provides the following additional time services, based on the Elapsed Time counter implemented in the embedded CCSDS Unsegmented ...
“Although it took a long time to make this first detection, we believe that pulsars in such binary systems are fairly common, so we’re looking forward to finding more,” adds Norbert Schartel, XMM-Newton Project Scientist at ESA. More information Read an in-depth version of this story ...

Herschel detects cold gas in nearby giant elliptical galaxies. Contrary to general belief, by performing Herschel/PACS observations in the restframe 158 µm C+ line in a sample of nearby giant elliptical galaxies, cold gas has been detected in six out of eight targets (Werner et al. 2014)...
After a short introduction illustrating Integral’s place in ESA’s fleet of astronomy and astrophysics satellites, the movie looks inside the central bulge to reveal these dynamic sources, which include X-ray binary systems with either a black hole or a neutron star, pulsars and remnants of sup...
Future highlights include theHeramission, the first to rendezvous with a binary asteroid system, and theLaser Interferometer Space Antenna(LISA), which will require some of the most precise and complex satellite operations ever conceived. ESOC is also responsible for the agency’s cutting-edge glob...
Hera will also image Mars’s larger moon Phobos as it begins to move away from Mars. In this sped-up simulation, Deimos is seen 30 seconds in, at 12:07 GMT, while the more distant star-like Phobos becomes visible at two minutes in, at 12:49 GMT. The spacecraft employs three of ...
