Description
The Insight-HXMT space mission is China's first X-ray astronomical satellite, which has been in orbit for over 7 years. Its main scientific objectives include searching and monitoring transients in the disk of the Milky Way, observing X-ray binaries to study the motion and radiation mechanisms in strong gravitational or magnetic fields, and monitoring and studying gamma-ray bursts and electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves. Insight-HXMT has achieved a number of important results in these research areas. In this report, I will present the most important results and discuss the potential for collaboration with time-domain astronomical satellites such as MAXI.
