探日卫星“夸父一号”首次发布科学图像

我国综合性太阳探测专用卫星“夸父一号”近日获得太阳硬X射线图像，并对外发布。这也是“夸父一号”升空后首次发布科学图像。

China's solar exploration satellite has transmitted its first solar image since being sent to space in October, according to the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) based in east China's Jiangsu Province.

位于江苏省的中国科学院紫金山天文台发布消息称，我国的太阳探测专用卫星“夸父一号”已传回首张太阳硬X射线图像。“夸父一号”卫星于今年10月成功发射。

The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) -- nicknamed Kuafu-1 in Chinese -- sent hard X-ray imaging of solar flares that broke out at 1:00 a.m. (Universal Time) on Nov. 11, 2022, said Gan Weiqun, the satellite's principal scientist from PMO under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

中国科学院紫金山天文台研究员、先进天基太阳天文台首席科学家甘为群表示，此次发布的太阳硬X射线图像是对2022年11月11日01时（世界时）爆发的一个M级耀斑的成像。“夸父一号”卫星全称先进天基太阳天文台（ASO-S）。

Gan said the image was taken by the satellite-loaded hard X-ray imager (HXI). Although still in the testing period, the imaging effect is excellent, allowing the effective identification of both the eruptive details and the fine structure of the Sun.

甘为群表示，图像由卫星载荷硬X射线成像仪（HXI）拍摄。虽然还在测试期，但成像效果已经非常优异，从中可以识别出爆发细节和太阳的精细结构。
