Chandra Spectra of the Soft X-ray Diffuse Background
M. Markevitch, M. W. Bautz, B. Biller +14
We present an exploratory Chandra ACIS-S3 study of the diffuse component of the Cosmic X-ray Background in the 0.3-7 keV band for four directions at high Galactic latitudes, with e…
The Flight Spectral Response of the ACIS Instrument
Paul P. Plucinsky, Norbert S. Schulz, Herman L. Marshall +11
We discuss the flight calibration of the spectral response of the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on-board the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). The spectral resolution and…
Monitoring the Health and Safety of the ACIS Instrument On-Board the Chandra X-ray Observatory
Shanil N. Virani, Peter G. Ford, Joseph M. DePasquale +1
The Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), NASA's latest ``Great Observatory'', was launched on July 23, 1999 and reached its final orbit on August 7, 1999. The CXO is in a highly ellipt…
The temporal characteristics of the Chandra X-ray Observatory high energy particle background
Catherine E. Grant, Mark W. Bautz, Shanil N. Virani
It was observed early on in the Chandra X-ray Observatory mission that the background rates of the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) were highly variable on both short and l…
