论文摘要
微通道X射线望远镜（MXT）将是基于“龙虾眼”光学设计的第一个焦点X射线望远镜，该光学设计是在中国企业Mission SVOM上进行的。 SVOM将致力于研究伽马射线爆发和更一般的时间域天体物理学。 MXT望远镜是紧凑的（焦距〜1.15 m）和光（<42 kg）仪器，在0.2---10 KEV能量范围内敏感。它由基于40微米孔径的微孔光学（MPO）组成，并耦合到低噪声PNCDD X射线检测器。在本文中，我们根据2021年秋季在卫星上集成SVOM有效载荷之前在2021年秋季进行的端到端校准活动描述了MXT望远镜的预期科学表现。
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will be the first focusing X-ray telescope based on a "Lobster-Eye" optical design to be flown on Sino-French mission SVOM. SVOM will be dedicated to the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts and more generally time-domain astrophysics. The MXT telescope is a compact (focal length ~ 1.15 m) and light (< 42 kg) instrument, sensitive in the 0.2--10 keV energy range. It is composed of an optical system, based on micro-pore optics (MPOs) of 40 micron pore size, coupled to a low-noise pnCDD X-ray detector. In this paper we describe the expected scientific performance of the MXT telescope, based on the End-to-End calibration campaign performed in fall 2021, before the integration of the SVOM payload on the satellite.
