In-orbit background simulation of a type-B CATCH satellite
Jingyu Xiao, Liqiang Qi, Shuang-Nan Zhang +23
The Chasing All Transients Constellation Hunters (CATCH) space mission plans to launch three types of micro-satellites (A, B, and C). The type-B CATCH satellites are dedicated to l…
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 HE onboard Insight-HXMT in the first 5 years
Xu-Fang Li, Cong-Zhan Liu, Yi-Fei Zhang +10
Purpose: The High-Energy X-ray telescope (HE), one of the three main payloads of the \textit{Insight}-HXMT mission, is composed of eighteen NaI(Tl)/CsI(Na) phoswich detectors, wher…
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.…
Background Model for the High-Energy Telescope of Insight-HXMT
Jin-Yuan Liao, Shu Zhang, Xue-Feng Lu +20
Accurate background estimation is essential for spectral and temporal analysis in astrophysics. In this work, we construct the in-orbit background model for the High-Energy Telesco…
Calibration of the Instrumental Response of Insight-HXMT/HE CsI Detectors for Gamma-Ray Monitoring
