Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Titolo del volume in cui è pubblicato il poster: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Curatore/i del volume in cui è pubblicato il contributo: | den Herder, Jan-Willem A.; Takahashi, Tadayuki; Bautz, Marshall | Serie: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Numero: | 9905 | Da pagina:: | 99051M | Abstract: | The Transient High Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept under development by a large international collaboration aimed at exploiting gamma-ray bursts for investigating the early Universe. The main scientific objectives of THESEUS include: investigating the star formation rate and metallicity evolution of the ISM and IGM up to redshift 9-10, detecting the first generation (pop III) of stars, studying the sources and physics of re-ionization, detecting the faint end of galaxies luminosity function. These goals will be achieved through a unique combination of instruments allowing GRB detection and arcmin localization over a broad FOV (more than 1sr) and an energy band extending from several MeVs down to 0.3 keV with unprecedented sensitivity, as well as on-board prompt (few minutes) follow-up with a 0.6m class IR telescope with both imaging and spectroscopic capabilities. Such instrumentation will also allow THESEUS to unveil and study the population of soft and sub-energetic GRBs, and, more in general, to perform monitoring and survey of the X-ray sky with unprecedented sensitivity. | Titolo del convegno: | Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray | Luogo del convegno: | Edinburgh, United Kingdom | Periodo del convegno: | 26 June - 1 July 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27195 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9905/1/The-Transient-High-Energy-Sky-and-Early-Universe-Surveyor-THESEUS/10.1117/12.2231525.short?SSO=1 | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510619135 9781510601895 |
