The Einstein Probe (EP) is a space X-ray observatory designed to detect mainly high-energy transient and variable sources in the universe. It aims at detecting such sources at unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution in the soft X-ray band and performing quick onboard follow-up observations in X-rays. The Einstein Probe is a project led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in...

20m

Eintein Probe (EP) is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability, and was lauched on January 9, 2024. It carried out a series of performance verification and calibration observation after launch and had begun scientific observations since late July. By now, EP has detected more than 30 fast X-ray transients, and long-term transients of different...

63. Development and Operation Status of X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM)

30m

The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) project was initiated in 2018. Following the development of onboard components, the proto-flight was conducted from 2021 to 2023 at JAXA Tsukuba Space Center. The spacecraft was launched from JAXA Tanegashima Space Center on September 7, 2023, and onboard components, including the observation instruments, were activated during the four months...

182. Image deconvolution of the Crab Nebula observed by Hitomi/HXT

Mikio Morii (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)

poster

We develop a new deconvolution method to recover the Crab Nebula image taken by the Hitomi HXT. To suppress the artifact due to the bright Crab pulsar located at the center of the Crab Nebula, we extend the Richardson-Lucy method. Here, we introduce two components corresponding to the nebula and pulsar with regularization for smoothness and flux, respectively, and we perform simultaneous...

150. Science operations and space-ground information/data flow of the Einstein Probe

Congying Bao (NAOC)

poster

The time-domain X-ray space mission Einstein Probe (EP) was launched on January 9, 2024. Since then, EP had been undergoing extensive in-orbit tests and calibration until July 2024. EP is aimed for the detection of cosmic high-energy transients in soft X-rays and quick X-ray follow-up characterization. For this, there are two instruments onboard: a wide-field X-ray telescope (WXT) for...
