Physics of reverse annealing in high-resistivity Chandra ACIS CCDs
C. E. Grant, B. LaMarr, G. Y. Prigozhin +3
After launch, the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS), a focal plane instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory, suffered radiation damage from exposure to soft protons durin…
A charge transfer inefficiency correction model for the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer
C. E. Grant, M. W. Bautz, S. M. Kissel +1
Soon after launch, the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS), one of the focal plane instruments on the Chandra X-ray Observatory, suffered radiation damage from exposure to sof…
Composition of the Chandra ACIS contaminant
Herman L. Marshall, Allyn Tennant, Catherine E. Grant +3
The Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on the Chandra X-ray Observatory is suffering a gradual loss of low energy sensitivity due to a buildup of a contaminant. High resoluti…
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…
Sacrificial charge and the spectral resolution performance of the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer
Catherine E. Grant, Gregory Y. Prigozhin, Beverly LaMarr +1
Soon after launch, the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS), one of the focal plane instruments on the Chandra X-ray Observatory, suffered radiation damage from exposure to sof…
