第一个极能宇宙射线轨道探测器TUS的早期结果

Early Results from TUS, the First Orbital Detector of Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays

Mikhail Zotov

摘要:

TUS是世界上第一个极端能量宇宙射线(EECR)轨道探测器,自2016年5月19日以来,它作为罗蒙诺索夫卫星科学有效载荷的一部分运行。TUS利用地球的夜间大气层记录EECR产生的大范围空气簇射产生的紫外荧光和切伦科夫辐射以及雷击和瞬时发光事件、微流星和空间碎片产生的紫外辐射。它在轨道上运行的头几个月显示出大气层中紫外线辐射的种类出乎意料地丰富。我们简要回顾了TUS的设计,并介绍了几个在专用于注册EECR的模式下记录事件的示例。

英文摘要:

TUS is the world's first orbital detector of extreme energy cosmic rays (EECRs), which operates as a part of the scientific payload of the Lomonosov satellite since May 19, 2016. TUS employs the nocturnal atmosphere of the Earth to register ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence and Cherenkov radiation from extensive air showers generated by EECRs as well as UV radiation from lightning strikes and transient luminous events, micro-meteors and space debris. The first months of its operation in orbit have demonstrated an unexpectedly rich variety of UV radiation in the atmosphere. We briefly review the design of TUS and present a few examples of events recorded in a mode dedicated to registering EECRs.
