1 The Suzaku/XIS: Status Report Eric Miller MIT Kavli Institute for the Suzaku/XIS Team
2 Outline instrument health and status calibration status specific issues OBF contamination spacecraft and instrument anomalies gain and effective area tracking normal, window, burst, timing modes

4 Major XIS Events July 10, 2005 launch of Suzaku August 13, 2005 November 9, 2006 January 30, 2008 June 23, 2009 December 18, 2009 XIS doors open, start of observations anomaly (μ-meteorite?) in XIS2; 2/3 of chip affected, stop using XIS2 CPU board malfunction in MPU; switch to redundant board anomaly (μ-meteorite?) in XIS0; 1/8 of chip affected, XIS0 safe for normal ops anomaly (μ-meteorite?) in XIS1; no CCD damage, likely hole in XIS1 OBF
5 XIS0 Anomaly - Frame Data charge injection on charge injection off (but sequencer still on)
6 XIS0 Anomaly - Summary apparent micro-meteorite causing charge leakage, saturation ~50 columns of XIS0 segment A unusable eliminated on-board with area discriminator burst mode is safe, but perhaps not useful in XIS0 P-Sum mode is no longer supported for XIS0 calibration changes minor at XIS aimpoint (seg B,C) gain change ~ few ev at 6 kev, no change at 1 kev no FWHM change most of XIS0 is usable, not in danger under supported modes

8 XIS1 Anomaly - Issues calibration uncertainty increases at spot soft extended sources affected on-axis point sources unaffected no change in supported observing modes dark level increase if optically bright source at spot more stringent day-earth elevation limit (?) excessive dose of UV from bright Earth (?) OBF contaminant leaking through hole (?) observation of RXJ1856 on and off hole.
