Insight-HXMT on-orbit thermal control status and thermal deformation impact analysis
Aimei Zhang, Yifan Zhang, Jinyuan Liao +23
Purpose: The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope is China's first X-ray astronomy satellite launched on June 15th, 2017, dubbed Insight-HXMT. Active and passive thermal control measure…
In-orbit performance of LE onboard Insight-HXMT in the first 5 years
Xiaobo Li, Yong Chen, Liming Song +18
Purpose: The Low-Energy X-ray telescope (LE) is a main instrument of the Insight-HXMT mission and consists of 96 Swept Charge Devices (SCD) covering the 1-10 keV energy band. The e…
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…
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…
Timing analysis of the black hole candidate EXO 1846-031 with Insight-HXMT monitoring
He-Xin Liu, Yue Huang, Guang-Cheng Xiao +118
We present the observational results from a detailed timing analysis of the black hole candidate EXO 1846-031 during its outburst in 2019 with the observations of Insight-HXMT, NIC…
Discovery of oscillations above 200 keV in a black hole X-ray binary with Insight-HXMT
Xiang Ma, Lian Tao, Shuang-Nan Zhang +119
Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are commonly found in black hole X-ray binaries, and their origin is still under debate. The properties of LFQPOs at high energie…
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…
