The Einstein Probe Mission
Weimin Yuan, Chen Zhang, Yong Chen +1
The Einstein Probe (EP) is a mission designed to monitor the sky in the soft X-ray band. It will perform systematic surveys and characterisation of high-energy transients and monit…
Estimate of the Background and Sensitivity of theFollow-up X-ray Telescope onboard Einstein Probe
Juan Zhang, Liqiang Qi, Yanji Yang +15
As a space X-ray imaging mission dedicated to time-domain astrophysics, the Einstein Probe (EP) carries two kinds of scientific payloads, the wide-field X-ray telescope (WXT) and t…
Performance of a focal plane detector for soft X-ray imaging spectroscopy based on back-illuminated sCMOS
Can Chen, Yusa Wang, Yupeng Xu +10
Spectroscopy focusing array (SFA) and Polarimetry focusing array (PFA) are the two major payloads of enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission (eXTP). Nested Wolter-\RNum{1} X-…
Insight-HXMT observations of jet-like corona in a black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
Bei You, Yuoli Tuo, Chengzhe Li +123
A black hole X-ray binary produces hard X-ray radiation from its corona and disk when the accreting matter heats up. During an outburst, the disk and corona co-evolves with each ot…
Comparison of simulated backgrounds with in-orbit observations for HE, ME and LE onboard Insight-HXMT
Juan Zhang, Xiaobo Li, Mingyu Ge +10
Insight-HXMT, the first X-ray astronomical satellite in China, aims to reveal new sources in the Galaxy and to study fundamental physics of X-ray binaries from 1\,keV to 250\,keV.…
The influence of the Insight-HXMT/LE time response on timing analysis
Deng-Ke Zhou, Shi-Jie Zheng, Li-Ming Song +28
LE is the low energy telescope of Insight-HXMT. It uses swept charge devices (SCDs) to detect soft X-ray photons. The time response of LE is caused by the structure of SCDs. With t…
In-flight calibration of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope
Xiaobo Li, Xufang Li, Ying Tan +19
We present the calibration of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) X-ray satellite, which can be used to perform timing and spectral studies of bright X-ray s…
The Low Energy X-ray telescope (LE) onboard the Insight-HXMT astronomy satellite
Yong Chen, WeiWei Cui, Wei Li +24
The low energy (LE) X-ray telescope is one of the three main instruments of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT). It is equipped with Swept Charge Device (SCD…
Insight-HXMT observations of Swift J0243.6+6124 during its 2017-2018 outburst
Yue Zhang, Mingyu Ge, Liming Song +107
The recently discovered neutron star transient Swift J0243.6+6124 has been monitored by {\it the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope} ({\it Insight-\rm HXMT). Based on the obtained dat…
A linear calibration method on DNL error for energy spectrum
Lu Bo, Fu Yan-Hong, Chen Yong +18
A calibration method aimed for the differential nonlinearity (DNL) error of the Low Energy X-ray Instrument (LE) onboard the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) is presented, wh…
Proton irradiation effect on SCDs
Yan-Ji Yang, Jing-Bin Lu, Yu-Sa Wang +22
The Low Energy X-ray Telescope is a main payload on the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope satellite. The swept charge device is selected for the Low Energy X-ray Telescope. As swept…
Measurements of Charge Transfer Efficiency in a Proton-irradiated Swept Charge Device
Wang YuSa, Chen Yong, Liu XiaoYan +15
Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) have been successfully used in several low energy X-ray astronomical satellite over the past two decades. Their high energy resolution and high spatia…
