#AthenaNuggets: From Amps to eVs: the reconstruction process of the X-ray photons
Astronomers need full information of their astronomical source photons to create the spectrum that let them advance in their research. But photons are converted into electrical pulses by the cutting-edge technology of the Athena/X-IFU detector, and these electrical pulses do not build spectra... How to link both worlds? Read about it in the #AthenaNugget 31 by Maite Ceballos.
