Yamauchi (Miyazaki University | | Abstract: | MAXI, Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image, is the X-ray observatory on the Japanese experimental module (JEM) Exposed Facility (EF) on the International Space Station (ISS). MAXI is a slit scanning camera which consists of two kinds of X-ray detectors: one is a one-dimensional position-sensitive proportional counter with a total area of $sim 5000 cm^2$, the Gas Slit Camera (GSC), and the other is an X-ray CCD array with a total area $sim 200 cm^2$, the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC). The GSC subtends a field of view with an angular dimension of 1$^circ imes 180^circ$ while the SSC subtends a field of view with an angular dimension of 1$^circ$ times a little less than 180$^circ$. In the course of one station orbit, MAXI can scan almost the entire sky with a precision of 1$^circ$ and with an X-ray energy range of 0.5-30 keV. We have developed the engineering model of CCD chips and the analogue electronics for the SSC. The energy resolution of EM CCD for Mn K$alpha$ has a full-width at half maximum of $simeq$ 182 eV. Readout noise is $simeq$ 11 e^- rms. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/9904014 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
