NeXT的使命
The NeXT Mission
摘要：
NeXT（新探索X射线望远镜）是继朱雀之后的新的日本X射线天文卫星，是一项国际X射线任务，目前计划于2013年发射。NeXT是由多层涂层、聚焦硬X射线镜和硬X射线成像探测器提供的宽带X射线光谱（3 - 80 keV）和由薄箔X射线光学器件和微量热计阵列提供的高能量分辨率软X射线光谱（0.3 - 10 keV）的组合。该飞行任务还将携带一台X射线CCD照相机作为软X射线望远镜的焦平面探测器和一台非聚焦软伽马射线探测器。有了这些仪器，NeXT涵盖了从0.3 keV到600 keV的非常宽的能量范围。微量热计系统将由ISAS/JAXA和NASA牵头的国际合作开发。同时的宽带通，再加上高光谱分辨率的Δ E ~ 7 eV的微量热计将使各种重要的科学主题被追求。
英文摘要：
The NeXT (New exploration X-ray Telescope), the new Japanese X-ray Astronomy Satellite following Suzaku, is an international X-ray mission which is currently planed for launch in 2013. NeXT is a combination of wide band X-ray spectroscopy (3 - 80 keV) provided by multi-layer coating, focusing hard X-ray mirrors and hard X-ray imaging detectors, and high energy-resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy (0.3 - 10 keV) provided by thin-foil X-ray optics and a micro-calorimeter array. The mission will also carry an X-ray CCD camera as a focal plane detector for a soft X-ray telescope and a non-focusing soft gamma-ray detector. With these instruments, NeXT covers very wide energy range from 0.3 keV to 600 keV. The micro-calorimeter system will be developed by international collaboration lead by ISAS/JAXA and NASA. The simultaneous broad bandpass, coupled with high spectral resolution of Delta E ~ 7 eV by the micro-calorimeter will enable a wide variety of important science themes to be pursued.
