The AMEGO Instrument

Dr. Elizabeth Hays

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

The All-Sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory is an Astrophysics Probe mission concept designed to obtain new views of the high energy Universe. This talk will highlight features of the AMEGO concept that provide the data needed to pursue key questions in multimessenger, time domain and nuclear astrophysics among other topics. I will present the instrument concept and technologies under study for AMEGO, which enable wide-field and high-cadence sky coverage with good angular resolution and energy resolution. I will discuss how the concept aims to achieve goals of broad-band flux sensitivity from 200 keV to >10 GeV with additional capabilities for polarization measurements and nuclear line spectroscopy.
