We describe the performance of position-sensitive metallic magnetic calorimeter X-ray detectors for potential future astrophysics missions, such as Lynx. The motivation behind this is to achieve a large focal plane area by increasing the number of pi

Future astrophysics missions such as the Lynx X-ray Microcalorimeter will comprise a very large array of X-ray microcalorimeters with greater than 100 000 pixels. One of the major challenges associated with the realization of large format arrays is t

We describe a small-scale demonstration of an X-ray microcalorimeter using metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) that consist of superconducting meander-shaped sensor coils with very fine pitches. These devices are being developed for potential futur

One option for the detector technology to implement the Lynx x-ray microcalorimeter (LXM) focal plane arrays is the metallic magnetic calorimeter (MMC). Two-dimensional imaging arrays of MMCs measure the energy of x-ray photons by using a paramagneti
