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...
