The First Insight-HXMT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: The First Four Years
The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) is China’s first X-ray astronomy satellite. It was launched on 2017 June 15. The anticoincidence CsI detectors of the High Energy X-ray telescope…
Enhanced Localization of Transients Based on a Novel Cross-correlation Method
Locating gamma-ray transients including gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and soft gamma repeater (SGR) bursts is of great importance in multi-messenger and multi-wavelength astronomy, such as guiding optical…
GRB 210121A: A Typical Fireball Burst Detected by Two Small Missions
The Chinese CubeSat Mission, Gamma Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID), recently detected its first gamma-ray burst, GRB 210121A, which was jointly observed by the Gravitational wave high-energy…
Non-thermal Electron Energization During the Impulsive Phase of an X9.3 Flare Revealed by Insight-HXMT
The X9.3 flare SOL20170906T11:55 was observed by the CsI detector aboard the first Chinese X-ray observatory Hard X-ray Modulation telescope (Insight-HXMT). Using the wavelets method, we report 22 s…
A Parametric Model to Reproduce the Background of the Insight-HXMT/HE Blind Detector
The estimation of instrumental background is the basis of essentially all data analysis on observations with Insight-HXMT. The current Insight-HXMT/HE background model made by Liao et al. depends on…
Detection of Flare Multiperiodic Pulsations in Mid-ultraviolet Balmer Continuum, Lyα, Hard X-Ray, and Radio Emissions Simultaneously
Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs), which usually appear as temporal pulsations of the total flux, are frequently detected in the light curves of solar/stellar flares. In this study, we present the…

The High Energy X-ray telescope (HE) onboard the Insight-HXMT astronomy satellite
The low energy (LE) X-ray telescope is one of the three main instruments of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT). It is equipped with Swept Charge Device (SCD) sensor arrays…
Simulation of the in-flight background for HXMT/HE
The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) is a broad-band X-ray astronomical satellite from 1 to 250 keV. Understanding the X-ray background in detail will help to achieve a good performance of the…
Geant4 simulations of soft proton scattering in X-ray optics
Low energy protons (< 300 keV) can enter the field of view of X-ray telescopes, scatter on their mirror surfaces at small incident angles, and deposit energy on the detector. This phenomenon can…
An XMM-Newton proton response matrix
Soft protons constitute an important source of background in focusing X-ray telescopes, as Chandra and XMM-Newton experience has shown. The optics in fact transmit them to the focal plane with…
Overview to the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) Satellite
TLDR
An overview of the HXMT mission, including payload, core sciences, ground calibration/facility, ground segment, data archive, software, in-orbit performance, calibration, background model, observations and some preliminary results are given.
Ground-based calibration and characterization of the HE detectors for Insight-HXMT
Cross-calibration of the X-ray instruments onboard the Chandra, INTEGRAL, RXTE, Suzaku, Swift, and XMM- Newton observatories using G21.5-0.9
Context. The Crab nebula has been used as a celestial calibration source of the X-ray flux and spectral shape for many years by X-ray astronomy missions. However, the object is often too bright for…
