アブストラクト
Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI), 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 ~5000cm2, the Gas Slit Camera (GSC), and the other is an X-ray CCD array with a total area of ~200cm2, the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC). The GSC subtends a field of view with an angular dimension of /1°×180° while the SSC subtends a field of view with an angular dimension of /1° times a little less than /180°. In the course of one station orbit, MAXI can scan almost the entire sky with a precision of /1° 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 Kα has a full-width at half-maximum of /~=182 eV. Readout noise is ~=11e- rms.
