论文摘要
用于成像X射线的光谱仪/望远镜(Stix)是ESA太阳轨道任务的科学有效载荷的10件工具之一。 Stix在4-150〜KEV能量范围内提供了硬X射线成像光谱,可观察到Sun的硬X射线Bremsstrahlung发射。这些观察结果提供了最热的热等离子体($> $ 10〜MK)的诊断,以及有关在太阳耀斑期间10〜KEV加速的非热能电子的信息。 Stix的光谱分辨率为1〜KEV,并采用了内向BI-GRID傅立叶成像来空间定位硬X射线发射。鉴于Stix通过硬X射线诊断提供了有关太阳在太阳中加速电子的关键信息,因此它是对太阳能轨道套件的有力贡献,并且在探索向地球球的太阳能输入动力学方面发挥了重要作用。本章介绍了Stix仪器,其设计,目标,首次观察,并概述了Stix在太阳能轨道的任务寿命中提供的新观点。
The Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX) is one of the 10 instruments on-board the scientific payload of ESA's Solar Orbiter mission. STIX provides hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy in the 4-150~keV energy range, observing hard X-ray bremsstrahlung emission from the Sun. These observations provide diagnostics of the hottest thermal plasmas ($>$10~MK) and information on the non-thermal energetic electrons accelerated above 10~keV during solar flares. STIX has a spectral resolution of 1~keV, and employs the use of in-direct bi-grid Fourier imaging to spatially locate hard X-ray emission. Given that STIX provides critical information about accelerated electrons at the Sun through hard X-ray diagnostics, it is a powerful contribution to the Solar Orbiter suite and has a significant role to explore the dynamics of solar inputs to the heliosphere. This chapter describes the STIX instrument, its design, objectives, first observations and outlines the new perspectives STIX provides over the mission lifetime of Solar Orbiter.
