The ASTROGAM mission for MeV-GeV gamma ray astrophysics
Alessandro de Angelis (INFN and INAF Padova)
Zoom (DESY Zeuthen), 1 PM
ASTROGAM is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated to the study of the non-thermal Universe in the photon energy range from few keV to few GeV. The mission is based on an advanced space-proven detector technology, with unprecedented sensivity, angular and energy resolution, combined with polarimetric capability. Thanks to its performance in the MeV-GeV domain, substantially improving its predecessors, ASTROGAM will open a new window on the non-thermal Universe, making pioneering observations of the most powerful Galactic and extragalactic sources, elucidating the nature of their relativistic outflows and their effects on the surroundings. With a line sensitivity in the MeV energy range much better than previous generation instruments, ASTROGAM will determine the origin of key isotopes fundamental for the understanding of supernova explosion and the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. The mission will provide unique data of significant interest to a broad astronomical community, being the ideal partner of future observatories in the multimessenger era.
