瞬变高能天空和早期宇宙探测器(THESEUS)

The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS)

L. Amati, E. Bozzo, P. O'Brien, D. Götz

摘要:

瞬态高能天空和早期宇宙探测器(THESEUS)是一个大型欧洲财团在过去几年中开发的任务概念,目前正在由欧洲航天局(欧空局)研究,作为下一个M5任务(2032年发射)的三个候选者之一。忒修斯的目标是利用高红移伽玛暴来获得早期宇宙的独特线索,并且是一台前所未有的强大机器,用于探测、精确定位(低至角秒)和确定所有类型的伽玛暴(长、短、高z、欠光、超长)以及许多其他类别的瞬态源和现象的红移,为多信使时域天体物理学做出了重大贡献。在这些方面,THESEUS将与未来的大型观测设施,如E-ELT,TMT,SKA,CTA,ATHENA,在电磁领域,以及下一代引力波和中微子探测器显示出强大的协同作用,从而大大提高其科学回报。

英文摘要:

The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept developed in the last years by a large European consortium and currently under study by the European Space Agency (ESA) as one of the three candidates for next M5 mission (launch in 2032). THESEUS aims at exploiting high-redshift GRBs for getting unique clues to the early Universe and, being an unprecedentedly powerful machine for the detection, accurate location (down to arcsec) and redshift determination of all types of GRBs (long, short, high-z, under-luminous, ultra-long) and many other classes of transient sources and phenomena, at providing a substantial contribution to multi-messenger time-domain astrophysics. Under these respects, THESEUS will show a strong synergy with the large observing facilities of the future, like E-ELT, TMT, SKA, CTA, ATHENA, in the electromagnetic domain, as well as with next-generation gravitational-waves and neutrino detectors, thus greatly enhancing their scientific return.
