GRI:Gamma-Ray成像仪任务

GRI: The Gamma-Ray Imager mission

Jürgen KnÖdlseder

摘要:

通过INTEGRAL天文台,欧空局为天文学界提供了一个独特的工具,揭示了数百个来源,新的物体类别,我们银河系中反物质湮灭的非凡观点,以及最近核合成过程的指纹。虽然INTEGRAL提供了对软伽马射线天空的全球概述,但越来越需要对伽马射线源进行更深入,更集中的调查。在软X射线方面,从爱因斯坦和EXOSAT卫星到钱德拉和XMM/牛顿天文台采取了类似的步骤。过去几年在利用劳厄衍射进行伽马射线聚焦领域取得的技术进步为新的伽马射线飞行任务铺平了道路,在灵敏度和角分辨率方面取得了重大改进。这种未来的伽马射线成像仪将允许以前所未有的细节研究粒子加速过程和爆炸物理学,为宇宙中最暴力和最具活力的过程的最内在本质提供重要线索。

英文摘要:

With the INTEGRAL observatory, ESA has provided a unique tool to the astronomical community revealing hundreds of sources, new classes of objects, extraordinary views of antimatter annihilation in our Galaxy, and fingerprints of recent nucleosynthesis processes. While INTEGRAL provides the global overview over the soft gamma-ray sky, there is a growing need to perform deeper, more focused investigations of gamma-ray sources. In soft X-rays a comparable step was taken going from the Einstein and the EXOSAT satellites to the Chandra and XMM/Newton observatories. Technological advances in the past years in the domain of gamma-ray focusing using Laue diffraction have paved the way towards a new gamma-ray mission, providing major improvements regarding sensitivity and angular resolution. Such a future Gamma-Ray Imager will allow studies of particle acceleration processes and explosion physics in unprecedented detail, providing essential clues on the innermost nature of the most violent and most energetic processes in the Universe.
