Five-year in-orbit background of Insight-HXMT
Jin-Yuan Liao, Shu Zhang, Juan Zhang +24
Purpose: We present the five-year in-orbit background evolution of Insight-HXMT since the launch, as well as the effects of the background model in data analysis. Methods: The back…
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…
CATCH: Chasing All Transients Constellation Hunters Space Mission
Panping Li, Qian-Qing Yin, Zhengwei Li +34
In time-domain astronomy, a substantial number of transients will be discovered by multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observatories, posing a great challenge for follow-up capabi…
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…
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…
Background Model for the Low-Energy Telescope of Insight-HXMT
Jin-Yuan Liao, Shu Zhang, Yong Chen +16
With more than 150 blank sky observations at high Galactic latitude, we make a systematic study to the background of the Low Energy Telescope (LE) of the Hard X-ray Modulation Tele…
