The Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) is an X-ray CCD camera of the Xtend system onboard the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), which was successfully launched on September 7, 2…
Soft X-ray Imager of the Xtend system onboard XRISM
Hirofumi Noda, Koji Mori, Hiroshi Tomida +57
The Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) is the X-ray charge-coupled device (CCD) camera for the soft X-ray imaging telescope Xtend installed on the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRIS…
A detailed study on spectroscopic performance of SOI pixel detector with a pinned depleted diode structure for X-ray astronomy
Masataka Yukumoto, Koji Mori, Ayaki Takeda +11
We have been developing silicon-on-insulator (SOI) pixel detectors with a pinned depleted diode (PDD) structure, named "XRPIX", for X-ray astronomy. In our previous study, we succe…
Feasibility study of upper atmosphere density measurement on the ISS by observations of the CXB transmitted through the Earth rim
Takumi Kishimoto, Kumiko K. Nobukawa, Ayaki Takeda +11
Measurements of the upper atmosphere at ~100 km are important to investigate climate change, space weather forecasting, and the interaction between the Sun and the Earth. Atmospher…
SUIM project: measuring the upper atmosphere from the ISS by observations of the CXB transmitted through the Earth rim
Kumiko K. Nobukawa, Ayaki Takeda, Satoru Katsuda +16
The upper atmosphere at the altitude of 60-110 km, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), has the least observational data of all atmospheres due to the difficulties of in-si…
