论文摘要

全天内的中型能量伽马射线天文台探索器（Amego-X）旨在识别和表征来自极端爆炸和加速器的伽马射线。主要的科学主题包括：超大质黑洞及其与中微子和宇宙射线的联系；二进制中子星星合并及其产生的相对论喷气机；宇宙射线颗粒加速度，包括银河系超新星；以及在这个重要能量范围内的全天空中对其他天体物理事件和来源的持续监测。 Amego-X将使用单个仪器使用具有灵敏度的单个仪器探测中型能量伽马射线，最大的数量级比能量范围100 keV至1 GEV的望远镜大的数量级，这只能在太空中实现。在三年的基线任务中，Amego-X将几乎每两个轨道观察到整个天空，建立一张敏感的全套伽玛射线来源和排放地图。 Amego-X是在最近2021年NASA Midex宣布机会的宣布中提交的。

The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) is designed to identify and characterize gamma rays from extreme explosions and accelerators. The main science themes include: supermassive black holes and their connections to neutrinos and cosmic rays; binary neutron star mergers and the relativistic jets they produce; cosmic ray particle acceleration sources including Galactic supernovae; and continuous monitoring of other astrophysical events and sources over the full sky in this important energy range. AMEGO-X will probe the medium energy gamma-ray band using a single instrument with sensitivity up to an order of magnitude greater than previous telescopes in the energy range 100 keV to 1 GeV that can be only realized in space. During its three-year baseline mission, AMEGO-X will observe nearly the entire sky every two orbits, building up a sensitive all-sky map of gamma-ray sources and emission. AMEGO-X was submitted in the recent 2021 NASA MIDEX Announcement of Opportunity.
