慧眼-HXMT卫星的在轨运行和标定

The In-orbit Operation and Calibration of the Insight-HXMT Satellite

  • 摘要: “慧眼”硬X射线调制望远镜(简称慧眼卫星, 英文名为Insight Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope, 简称Insight-HXMT或HXMT), 于2017年6月15日发射升空, 标志着我国自主研发的首个天文台级X射线望远镜的诞生. 慧眼卫星凭借其大面积、宽波段、高时间分辨率和高能量分辨率的综合优势, 为黑洞与中子星系统的硬X射线快速变化和宽波段能谱研究领域开辟了新的研究窗口. 超出设计寿命的慧眼卫星已稳定运行超过8 yr, 目前状态良好, 且有望进一步延长其在轨服务时间. 截至2024年10月, 慧眼卫星已7次向全球科学界公开征集观测提案, 共收到334份有效的观测提案, 并据此制定了2368个观测计划. 此外, 慧眼卫星已向公众发布数据13批次, 累计数据量达到40 TB, 数据公开比率高达94%. 慧眼卫星还向用户提供了不同版本的数据分析软件和标定数据库, 在轨标定精度在2%左右, 满足科学分析的要求. 来自全球17家及国内36家研究机构的学者使用慧眼数据开展了科学研究, 发表了约300多篇高质量学术论文, 累计引用次数约7300次.

     

    Abstract: The Insight Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (abbreviated as Insight-HXMT or HXMT), launched on June 15, 2017, is China's first astronomical observatory-level X-ray telescope independently developed by China. Combing its comprehensive advantages of large area, broad band, high timing resolution, and high energy resolution, it has opened a new window for the study of rapid optical variability and broadband energy spectra in black hole and neutron star systems in hard X-rays. The Insight-HXMT satellite has been in operation for more than eight years, exceeding its designed lifespan of four years, and is currently in good working condition with the capability to extend its service life. As of October 2024, the Insight-HXMT satellite has openly collected observation proposals from domestic and international users seven times, receiving 334 valid observation proposals, and has arranged 2368 various observation plans. It has publicly released data 13 times, totaling 40 TB, with a data release rate of 94%. HXMT offers users various versions of data analysis software and calibration databases, with an in-orbit calibration accuracy of around 2%, meeting the requirements for scientific analysis. Scholars from 17 international and 36 domestic research institutions have used Insight-HXMT data for scientific research, publishing about 300 high-quality academic papers with nearly 7300 citations in total.
