In Orbit Performance of the MAXI/SSC onboard the ISS
Hiroshi Tsunemi, Hiroshi Tomida, Haruyoshi Katayama +4
We report here the in orbit performance of the CCD camera (MAXI/SSC) onboard the International Space Station (ISS). It was commissioned in August, 2009. This is the first all-sky s…
Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC) on Board MAXI
Hiroshi Tomida, Hiroshi Tsunemi, Masashi Kimura +9
Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC) is an X-ray camera onboard the MAXI mission of the International Space Station. Two sets of SSC sensors view X-ray sky using charge-coupled devices (C…
Development of an n-channel CCD, CCD-NeXT1, for Soft X-ray Imager onboard the NeXT satellite
Shin-ichiro Takagi, Takeshi Go Tsuru, Tatsuya Inui +10
NeXT (New X-ray Telescope) is the next Japanese X-ray astronomical satellite mission after the Suzaku satellite. NeXT aims to perform wide band imaging spectroscopy. Due to the suc…
Proton Irradiation Experiment for the X-ray Charge-Coupled Devices of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image mission onboard the International Space Station: I. Experimental Setup and Measurement of the Charge Transfer Inefficiency
E. Miyata, T. Kamazuka, H. Kouno +7
We have investigated the radiation damage effects on a CCD to be employed in the Japanese X-ray astronomy mission including the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) onboard the In…
Application of the Mesh Experiment for the Back-Illuminated CCD: I. Experiment and the Charge Cloud Shape
E. Miyata, M. Miki, J. Hiraga +5
We have employed a mesh experiment for back-illuminated (BI) CCDs. BI CCDs possess the same structure to those of FI CCDs. Since X-ray photons enter from the back surface of the CC…
Direct X-ray Imaging of m precision using Back-Illuminated CCD
E. Miyata, M. Miki, H. Tsunemi +3
A charge-coupled device (CCD) is a standard imager in optical region in which the image quality is limited by its pixel size. CCDs also function in X-ray region but with substantia…
