Scientific paper

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.
