摘要: 鹊桥二号中继星阵列中性原子成像仪是我国首台月基磁层中性原子全景遥感成像载荷,旨在通过高时空分辨率观测数据为研究地球磁层亚暴注入触发机制、磁尾能量转化机制及地球磁暴的产生过程等提供科学数据支持。该阵列中性原子成像仪创新的将飞行时间法与二维编码调制成像技术相结合,实现了单粒子事件的精确探测及大尺度高分辨的磁层中性原子遥感成像。其可用于测量4keV-200keV H原子和8keV-250keV O原子,且能量分辨率优于1keV@10keV。同时,其仪器视场角大于20°×45°,中性原子遥感图像分辨率优于0.5°。为准确标定阵列中性原子成像仪的上述性能指标,开展阵列中性原子成像仪定标方法研究。通过加速器束流定标测试验证阵列中性原子成像仪对中性原子的种类鉴别及能量测量能力,通过光学定标测试验证阵列中性原子成像仪视场覆盖及生成图像分辨率的能力。定标测试结果表明,阵列中性原子成像仪对H、O原子的测量能力可覆盖设计指标。Abstract: The grid-based energetic neutral atom imager (GENA) onboard the Queqiao-2 satellite is the first lunar-based magnetospheric energetic neutral atom (ENA) panoramic remote sensing imaging payload. It aims to provide scientific data support for the study of the injection triggering mechanism of the Earth's magnetosphere substorm, the magnetotail energy conversion mechanism, and the generation process of the Earth's magnetic storm through high-temporal and spatial resolution observation data. The GENA innovatively combines the time-of-flight method with the two-dimensional coded modulation imaging technology to achieve accurate detection of single-particle events and large-scale, high-resolution magnetospheric neutral atom remote sensing imaging. It can be used to measure 4keV-200keV H atoms and 8keV-250keV O atoms, and the energy resolution is better than 1keV@10keV. At the same time, its instrument field of view is greater than 20°×45°, and the resolution of ENA remote sensing images is better than 0.5°. To accurately calibrate the above performance indicators of the GENA, a study on the calibration method of the GENA was carried out. The accelerator beam calibration test verifies the GENA's ability to identify the type of neutral atoms and measure their energy, and the optical calibration test verifies the GENA's field of view coverage and image resolution. The calibration test results show that the GENA's ability to measure H and O atoms can cover the design indicators.
