论文摘要

Mini-Euso是一款望远镜,该望远镜于2019年在国际空间站上发射,目前位于该车站的俄罗斯区。该任务的主要科学目标是寻找核者和奇怪的夸克物质,研究大气现象,例如瞬态发光事件,流星和流星,对海洋生物发光和人造卫星的观察以及人造卫星的观察以及人造空间碎片。它还能够观察由超高能量宇宙射线产生的广泛的空中阵雨,其能量以上的能量超过10 $^{21} $ eV,并检测到地面激光产生的人造阵雨。 Mini-euso可以在紫外线范围(290-430 nm)的夜间地球上绘制夜间地球,其空间分辨率约为6.3 km,时间分辨率为2.5 $μ$ s,通过俄罗斯Zvezzda模块中的面向Nadir的UV-Transparent窗口观察我们的星球。该仪器于2019/08/22从Baikonur Cosmodrome推出,它基于使用两个菲涅耳透镜和一个焦点表面的光学系统,由36个多动物光电型管,每个64个通道组成,每个通道,总计2304个频道,总计2304个通道,具有单光子计数敏感性和44 $ $^$^$^$^$^$^^$^^$^^$^^$^^$^^$^^$^{ Mini-Euso还包含两个辅助摄像机,以补充近红外和可见范围的测量。在本文中,我们描述了检测器,并介绍了在操作第一年中观察到的各种现象。

Mini-EUSO is a telescope launched on board the International Space Station in 2019 and currently located in the Russian section of the station. Main scientific objectives of the mission are the search for nuclearites and Strange Quark Matter, the study of atmospheric phenomena such as Transient Luminous Events, meteors and meteoroids, the observation of sea bioluminescence and of artificial satellites and man-made space debris. It is also capable of observing Extensive Air Showers generated by Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays with an energy above 10$^{21}$ eV and detect artificial showers generated with lasers from the ground. Mini-EUSO can map the night-time Earth in the UV range (290 - 430 nm), with a spatial resolution of about 6.3 km and a temporal resolution of 2.5 $μ$s, observing our planet through a nadir-facing UV-transparent window in the Russian Zvezda module. The instrument, launched on 2019/08/22 from the Baikonur cosmodrome, is based on an optical system employing two Fresnel lenses and a focal surface composed of 36 Multi-Anode Photomultiplier tubes, 64 channels each, for a total of 2304 channels with single photon counting sensitivity and an overall field of view of 44$^{\circ}$. Mini-EUSO also contains two ancillary cameras to complement measurements in the near infrared and visible ranges. In this paper we describe the detector and present the various phenomena observed in the first year of operation.
