Description

High-z Gamma-ray bursts UNraveling the Dark Ages and extreme space-time Mission (HiZ-GUNDAM) is a future astronomical space mission in the 2030s (a pre-project candidate of the competitively-chosen Middle-class ISAS missions) that performs wide-field X-ray surveys of X-ray transients such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and follow-up observations in the infrared band.
By the observations in the infrared and X-ray bands, HiZ-GUNDAM can contribute to the multi-messenger astronomy, e.g., for clarifying origins of mysterious gravitational events and IceCube neutrino events. Also, it can detect very high-redshift GRBs (z > 7) to investigate unknown physical environments in the early universe.
In this presentation, we will introduce the mission status of HiZ-GUNDAM and development of the X-ray and infrared mission instruments.
