AGILE的使命

The AGILE Mission

M. Tavani

摘要:

AGILE是意大利航天局的一项任务,致力于观测伽马射线宇宙。AGILE非常创新的仪器首次结合了伽马射线成像仪(灵敏度在30 MeV - 50 GeV的能量范围内),硬X射线成像仪(灵敏度在18-60 keV的范围内)与量热计(灵敏度在300 keV - 100 MeV的范围内)和反符合系统。AGILE于2007年4月23日从印度斯里哈里科塔基地成功发射,并进入粒子背景非常低的赤道轨道。AGILE为研究活动星系核、伽马射线暴、超新星遗迹、TeV源和微秒计时的基础物理学提供了重要数据。最佳的角分辨率(达到0.1-0.2度的γ射线,1-2角分的硬X射线)和非常大的视野(2.5 sr和1 sr,分别),通过使用集成在一个非常紧凑的仪器硅探测器。本文介绍了AGILE任务及其空间和地面部分。

英文摘要:

AGILE is an Italian Space Agency mission dedicated to the observation of the gamma-ray Universe. The AGILE very innovative instrumentation combines for the first time a gamma-ray imager (sensitive in the energy range 30 MeV - 50 GeV), a hard X-ray imager (sensitive in the range 18-60 keV) together with a Calorimeter (sensitive in the range 300 keV - 100 MeV) and an anticoincidence system. AGILE was successfully launched on April 23, 2007 from the Indian base of Sriharikota and was inserted in an equatorial orbit with a very low particle background. AGILE provides crucial data for the study of Active Galactic Nuclei, Gamma-Ray Bursts, pulsars, unidentified gamma-ray sources, Galactic compact objects, supernova remnants, TeV sources, and fundamental physics by microsecond timing. An optimal angular resolution (reaching 0.1-0.2 degrees in gamma-rays, 1-2 arcminutes in hard X-rays) and very large fields of view (2.5 sr and 1 sr, respectively) are obtained by the use of Silicon detectors integrated in a very compact instrument. The paper describes the AGILE Mission and its space and ground segments.
