In-orbit Performance of ME onboard Insight-HXMT in the first 5 years
Ying Tan, Xuelei Cao, Weichun Jiang +16
Introduction: The Medium Energy X-ray telescope (ME) is a collimated X-ray telescope onboard the Insight hard X-ray modulation telescope (Insight-HXMT) satellite. It has 1728 Si-PI…
Discrimination of background events in the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter
Jiahuan Zhu, Hong Li, Hua Feng +22
PolarLight is a space-borne X-ray polarimeter that measures the X-ray polarization via electron tracking in an ionization chamber. It is a collimated instrument and thus suffers fr…
Modeling the in-orbit background of PolarLight
Jiahui Huang, Hua Feng, Hong Li +23
PolarLight is a gas pixel X-ray polarimeter mounted on a CubeSat, which was launched into a Sun-synchronous orbit in October 2018. We build a mass model of the whole CubeSat with t…
In-orbit Operation and Performance of the CubeSat Soft X-ray Polarimeter PolarLight
Hong Li, Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng +21
PolarLight is a compact soft X-ray polarimeter onboard a CubeSat, which was launched into a low-Earth orbit on October 29, 2018. In March 2019, PolarLight started full operation, a…
The Background Model of the Medium Energy X-ray telescope of Insight-HXMT
Cheng-Cheng Guo, Jin-Yuan Liao, Shu Zhang +26
The Medium Energy X-ray Telescope (ME) is one of the main payloads of the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (dubbed as Insight-HXMT). The background of Insight-HXMT/ME is mainly caus…
Overview to the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) Satellite
ShuangNan Zhang, TiPei Li, FangJun Lu +127
As China's first X-ray astronomical satellite, the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), which was dubbed as Insight-HXMT after the launch on June 15, 2017, is a wide-band (1-250…
