12 Aug 2016 | | Abstract: | The e-ASTROGAM is a gamma-ray space mission to be proposed as the M5
Medium-size mission of the European Space Agency. It is dedicated to the
observation of the Universe with unprecedented sensitivity in the energy range
0.2 - 100 MeV, extending up to GeV energies, together with a groundbreaking
polarization capability. It is designed to substantially improve the COMPTEL
and Fermi sensitivities in the MeV-GeV energy range and to open new windows of
opportunity for astrophysical and fundamental physics space research.
e-ASTROGAM will operate as an open astronomical observatory, with a core
science focused on (1) the activity from extreme particle accelerators,
including gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei and the link of jet
astrophysics to the new astronomy of gravitational waves, neutrinos, ultra-high
energy cosmic rays, (2) the high-energy mysteries of the Galactic center and
inner Galaxy, including the activity of the supermassive black hole, the Fermi
Bubbles, the origin of the Galactic positrons, and the search for dark matter
signatures in a new energy window; (3) nucleosynthesis and chemical evolution,
including the life cycle of elements produced by supernovae in the Milky Way
and the Local Group of galaxies. e-ASTROGAM will be ideal for the study of
high-energy sources in general, including pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae,
accreting neutron stars and black holes, novae, supernova remnants, and
magnetars. And it will also provide important contributions to solar and
terrestrial physics. The e-ASTROGAM telescope is optimized for the simultaneous
detection of Compton and pair-producing gamma-ray events over a large spectral
band. It is based on a very high technology readiness level for all subsystems
and includes many innovative features for the detectors and associated
electronics. | | Source: | arXiv, 1608.3739 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
