Description
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese X-ray astronomy satellite and was launched to a 550 km orbit on 15th June 2017. The Insight-HXMT consists of three collimated telescopes HE (20-250keV), ME (5-30 keV) and LE (1-15 keV), and is characterized by a broadband energy coverage, where at above 20 keV it has a large detection area and, at below 3 keV it has good energy/time resolution and is free from pile-up problem in observation of the bright source. The core sciences of the Insight-HXMT are Galactic survey for the discovery of X-ray source and monitoring of the source variability, pointed observations for observing the BH and NS XRB systems in their bright or outburst phases, all-sky monitoring GRBs and observation of the GW EM counterpart. Here I will briefly introduce on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team the research progresses, including observation of the extreme event of GRB/FRB and exploration of the outburst from compact object system of BHXRB/NSXRB.
