Super DIOS for exploring dark baryon

Abstract

The super DIOS mission is a candidate of Japanese future satellite program after 2030’s and this scientific concept has been approved to establish an ISAS/JAXA research group. The main aim of the super DIOS is a x-ray survey to quantify of baryons, over several scales, from the circumgalactic medium around galaxies, cluster outskirts to the warm-hot intergalactic medium along the large cosmic structure by detections of the redshifted emission lines from OVII, OVIII and other ions, for investigating the dynamical state of baryons, including energy flow and metal cycles, in the universe. The super DIOS will have a resolution of 15 arcseconds and 3 kilo-pixels of transition edge sensor (TES) and its micro-wave SQUID multiplexer read-out system. This performance resolves most contaminating x-ray sources and reduces the level of diffuse x-ray background after subtracting point-like sources. The technical achievements of on-board cooling system reached by the Hitomi (ASTRO-H) and XRISM for microcalorimeter provide baseline technology for Super DIOS. We will also have a large scale collaborations with multi wave-length survey projects such as optical and radio survey observations.
