论文摘要

随着Nanosat/Cubesat Revolution的出现,似乎已经开发和推出了小型($ \ sim $ \ ts 1000 cm $^3 $),低成本($ \ sim $ \ ts US \ $ 100万$ 100万)在很短的时间范围内($ \ sim $ \ sim $ 2 \ ts年)。特别是在高能天体物理学领域,对于具有引人注目的科学和竞争能力的设计工具,这是一个巨大的挑战,可以适合非常小的卫星公共汽车,例如立方体平台,并以非常有限的资源来操作它们。 Here we describe a hard X-ray (30--200\ts keV) experiment, LECX ("Localizador de Explosões Cósmicas de Raios X" -- Locator of X-Ray Cosmic Explosions), that is capable of detecting and localizing within a few degrees events like Gamma-Ray Bursts and other explosive phenomena in a 2U-cubesat platform, at a rate of $ \ sim $ {\ bf 5事件$^{ - 1} $。}在当前的《天文学重力波时代》中,这是一个非常成本效益的小型航天器,载有lecx等小型航天器,可以是一种非常有效的方法,可以搜索由紧凑型物品的cotalsclate colationscly ofermagitation Wave Qualteration ofertomagnetic averation compertical ofertomagnetic对方。

With the advent of the nanosat/cubesat revolution, new opportunities have appeared to develop and launch small ($\sim$\ts 1000 cm$^3$), low-cost ($\sim$\ts US\$ 1M) experiments in space in very short timeframes ($\sim$ 2\ts years). In the field of high-energy astrophysics, in particular, it is a considerable challenge to design instruments with compelling science and competitive capabilities that can fit in very small satellite buses such as a cubesat platform, and operate them with very limited resources. Here we describe a hard X-ray (30--200\ts keV) experiment, LECX ("Localizador de Explosões Cósmicas de Raios X" -- Locator of X-Ray Cosmic Explosions), that is capable of detecting and localizing within a few degrees events like Gamma-Ray Bursts and other explosive phenomena in a 2U-cubesat platform, at a rate of $\sim${\bf 5 events year$^{-1}$.} In the current gravitational wave era of astronomy, a constellation or swarm of small spacecraft carrying instruments such as LECX can be a very cost-effective way to search for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events produced by the coalescence of compact objects.
