论文摘要
中国法国太空任务SVOM主要设计用于检测,定位和后续伽马射线爆发和其他高能瞬变。该卫星将于2023年中期推出,乘坐两种宽场伽马射线仪器和两个在X射线和光学波长下运行的窄场望远镜。它是由一个专用的地面段互补的,其中包含一组宽场光学相机和两个1米类的随访望远镜。在这项贡献中,我们描述了任务的主要特征,并讨论了其科学原理和一些原始的GRB研究。
The Sino-French space mission SVOM is mainly designed to detect, localize and follow-up Gamma-Ray Bursts and other high-energy transients. The satellite, to be launched mid 2023, embarks two wide-field gamma-ray instruments and two narrow-field telescopes operating at X-ray and optical wavelengths. It is complemented by a dedicated ground segment encompassing a set of wide-field optical cameras and two 1-meter class follow-up telescopes. In this contribution, we describe the main characteristics of the mission and discuss its scientific rationale and some original GRB studies that it will enable.
