摘要:

ORIGIN是欧空局M3任务的一项建议,旨在研究宇宙黎明时期的金属创造。利用软X射线波段的高光谱分辨率,ORIGIN将能够识别C和Ni之间所有丰富元素的物理条件,红移z=10或更高。该任务将回答以下问题:第一种金属是什么时候产生的?宇宙金属含量是如何演变的?宇宙中大部分金属存在于何处?金属在结构形成和演化中的作用是什么?为了探索早期宇宙,ORIGIN将使用伽马射线暴(GRB)来研究它们所在星系的局部环境。这就要求有能力在不到一分钟的时间内将卫星旋转到伽玛射线暴的位置。通过研究星系团的化学组成和性质,我们可以将探索范围扩展到较低的红移(z ~ 0.2)。为此,我们需要一个高分辨率的光谱成像仪器与大视场。使用相同的仪器,我们也可以研究到目前为止只部分检测到的重子在温暖-热星系际介质(WHIM)。WHIM中密度较小的部分将利用伽玛暴光谱中低红移处的吸收线进行研究。

英文摘要:

ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGIN will be able to identify the physical conditions of all abundant elements between C and Ni to red-shifts of z=10, and beyond. The mission will answer questions such as: When were the first metals created? How does the cosmic metal content evolve? Where do most of the metals reside in the Universe? What is the role of metals in structure formation and evolution? To reach out to the early Universe ORIGIN will use Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) to study their local environments in their host galaxies. This requires the capability to slew the satellite in less than a minute to the GRB location. By studying the chemical composition and properties of clusters of galaxies we can extend the range of exploration to lower redshifts (z ~ 0.2). For this task we need a high-resolution spectral imaging instrument with a large field of view. Using the same instrument, we can also study the so far only partially detected baryons in the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). The less dense part of the WHIM will be studied using absorption lines at low redshift in the spectra for GRBs.
