Response function of an x-ray CCD camera on board the Astro-E satellite

We report on the x-ray response function of the x-ray CCD camera (XIS) on-board the x-ray Astronomical Satellite, Astro-E, which will be launched in February of 2000. XIS is prepared by an international team, comprising MIT, ISAS, Osaka Univ. and Kyoto Univ. We evaluate the x-ray response on the high energy band of 1.5-10 keV. Fluorescent lines from Al, Cl, Ti, Ni, Fe, Zn are irradiated on the CCD chips, and are use to construct the response function. Details of the response function; energy-scale linearity, energy resolution, quantum efficiency and etc., are given as a function of incident x-ray energies. The response function is also demonstrated to depend largely on event-selection and re-construction criteria.

ASCA observations of the supernova remnant G156.2+5.7

Abstract We report on the X-ray spectra in the wide energy band from the north rim and the central regions of the supernova remnant G156.2+5.7 obtained with ASCA. No clear shell structure is found: the surface brightness in the north rim is nearly the same as that in the center. The spectra from the north rim and the central regions are composed, at least, of 2 components: one is a thin thermal component with a temperature of about 0.4 keV and the other is a hard component represented by either a thin thermal emission model with a temperature higher than a few keV or a power-law model with a photon index of ∼2. Si and S abundances in the central region are found to be 3–10 times larger than those in the north rim region. Results of simultaneous fits of the ASCA and the Ginga spectra are also presented.

We studied the proton damage effects of the x-ray CCD. We have measured x-ray CCD performances after the irradiation of energies at 2 and 9.5 MeV, and confirmed clear degradation of charge transfer efficiency (CTE) and the energy resolution. To recover degraded CTE and the energy resolution, we tried the charge injection technique, and found the improvement of CTI and the energy resolution to be one-quarter and one-third, respectively. We also estimated the energy level of the deep trap, which causes the quantization of the dark current from the radiation-damaged pixels. The trap energy level is about 0.57 eV, or near the center of forbidden band.

Abstract We report on the X-ray response of the X-ray CCD camera X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) onboard the X-ray Astronomical Satellite, ASTRO-E, which will be launched in February of 2000. The XIS is prepared by an international team, comprising MIT (USA), ISAS, Osaka Univ. and Kyoto Univ. (JAPAN). We evaluate the X-ray response of engineering model (EM) of the XIS at the high energy band of 1.5–10 keV. Fluorescent lines from Al, Cl, Ti, Ni, Fe, Zn are irradiated on the CCD chips, and are used to construct the response function. Details of the response function; energy-scale, linearity, energy resolution, quantum efficiency and etc, are given as a function of incident X-ray energies.

Non thermal X-ray from galactic supernova remnants

Hiroshi Tomida; Katsuji Koyama; Jun Yokogawa; Shigeo Yamauchi

Abstract We present the ASCA results of three galactic supernova remnants, G156.2+5.7, G347.5−0.5, and G315.4−2.3. The spectra all exhibit the hard component without the thermal feature, and are spatially extended. We propose that these X-rays come from the extremely high energy electrons accelerated by the Fermi process.
