The X-ray CCD camera of the MAXI experiment on the ISS/JEM

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 ∼ 5000 cm 2 , the Gas Slit Camera (GSC), and the other is an X-ray CCD array with a total area ∼ 200 cm 2 , the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC). The GSC subtends a field of view with … Show more

“…The energy range is 0.5-10 keV. The CCD chip is 1-inch-square full-frame transfer type, has 1024 x 1024 pixels with a pixel size 24 µm square, and is made by Hamamatsu Photonics (Miyata et al, 1999). We have two SSC cameras, horizon and zenith.…”
