CTOnews.com, April 3, the official account of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation issued an article that the research results of the brightest gamma ray burst GRB 221009A so far were released recently. China's "discerning eye" satellite and the "polar eye" space telescope have accurately detected the gamma ray burst, and its brightness is 50 times that of previous gamma bursts. This study is of great significance for in-depth understanding of this extreme cosmic burst phenomenon.

CTOnews.com learned from the article that the full name of the "discerning eye" satellite is the hard X-ray modulated Telescope Satellite (HXMT), and the full name of the "Polar" space telescope is "gravitational wave storm high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor."

In the observation of the gamma ray burst, the "discerning eye" satellite equipped with a high-energy X-ray telescope successfully detected the gamma burst by virtue of its maximum effective area in the mega electron volt energy region, and obtained high-quality data of its precursory radiation and early afterglow. Through this observation of gamma bursts, the researchers verified the unique design of the "discerning eye" satellite in detecting extreme explosive objects.
