2009

12/18 XIS1 anomaly. See this suzaku memo for detail.

11/26 10:00 - 18:00

	XIS CPU program update. No XIS data can be used for scientific purposes.

10/12 4:00-10/14 12:10
	After a diagnostic operation of XIS0, the senor failed to go back to
	observation. Resultantly, XIS0 was unoperational during the period 
	above. Other sensors (XIS1 and 3) were in operation, but their dark 
	levels may be inproperly estimated until 10/14 10:30. Users are advised
	not to use data during this period without a consultation to the XIS team.

7/6 10:37:09 - 7/7 05:27:29
	During the observation of TT Ari, the erroneous dark frame
	problem occurred in all the sensors. The event data in 
	RAWY < 119 were affected by this problem.  
	See this page for the detail of this symptom.

6/23 - 9/7, 10/12
	Diagnostic operations for XIS0 were occasionally performed.
	XIS0 data obtained during this period might include some frames
	for diagnostic purposes, which should be removed for data
	reduction by general users.

6/27 16:30
	The area discrimination (RAWX=70-150) is applied for all the data
	obtained from this time onward, which masks most of the fake events
	due to the leak current in the XIS0 segment A.

6/23 2:00

	An anomaly occurred in XIS0. A part of the XIS0 segment A was 
	suddenly flooded by a large amount of leak current, leaving an 
	unrecoverable damage to the XIS0.
	In the Normal clocking mode, a part of the XIS0 segment A 
	(RAWX=70-150) became dysfunctional. In some data, spurious events 
	appear around RAWY=1024 in the remaining part of the segment A. 
	No significant change in the detector response is found. 
	However, users need to take a special care to reduce data taken by
	XIS0 segment A in the Normal clocking mode after the event.

	In the Psum clocking mode, the effect reaches to the entire XIS0 
	sensor. All data taken in the Psum clocking mode after the event 
	are inappropriate for any scientific use.

5/18 8:22 - 10:04
	Temperature anomaly in XIS0.
       The CCD temperature increased up to -60 degC, although the
       HK data showed an incorrect value of -90 degC.
       The XIS0 data in this period are not usable because
       large amount of the dark current filled the telemetry
       with the false events.

4/13 5:46 - 7:26
	Temperature anomaly in XIS0.
       The CCD temperature decreased down to -93 degC, although the
       HK data showed an incorrect value around -51 degC.
       No significant impact on the data, but the sensor might have
       slightly different gain.

2/18 2:03 - 3:44
	Temperature anomaly in XIS0.
       The CCD temperature decreased down to -93 degC, although the
       HK data showed an incorrect value around -77 degC.
       No significant impact on the data, but the sensor might have
       slightly different gain.

2008


12/6 19:12 - 20:51
	Temperature anomaly in XIS0.
       The CCD temperature decreased down to -93 degC, although the
       HK data showed an incorrect value around -50 degC.
       No significant impact on the data, but the sensor might have
       slightly different gain.

10/27 9:55 - 11:37
	Temperature anomaly in XIS0.
       The CCD temperature decreased down to -93 degC, although the
       HK data showed an incorrect value around -78 degC.
       No significant impact on the data, but the sensor might have
       slightly different gain.

           When Suzaku started to observe IGRJ17391-3021, illegal
           commands were issued to the XIS due to a mistake in operation.
           This resulted in an incorrect onboard dark estimation, and the 
           data obtained before 2008-02-22 20:30(UT) cannot be used.

1/30 18:55 - 2/6 04:50
           Trouble in the CPU board of the XIS data processing unit. 
           No XIS data usable for scientific purpose were produced
           in this period.   XIS was restarted using the backup

           No usable data were output for Segments C & D of XIS0.
           The HK data were also invalid for these segments.
           The trouble was caused by the bit-upset due to energetic
           particles in SAA in one of the data processing units of XIS0.

11/5 21:08 - 22:48
           Temperature anomaly in XIS0.

           performance in terms of the dark current, energy resolution
           and the gain.

3/31 23:53 - 4/1 1:02
           Abnormally large number of events in XIS0 segment A possibly

12/13 3:50-4:04
           Increase of the XIS event rates (up to 800 cnts/8sec/segment)
           possibly due to the solar flare (X3.4) occurred at 2:14.

12/6 19:20-19:30
           Increase of the XIS event rates (up to 200 cnts/8sec/segment)

           Temperature anomaly in XIS0.
           The CCD temperature increased up to -57 degC, although the HK 
           value indicated an incorrect temperature of -116 degC. The XIS0 
           data in this period may not be usable due to the significantly
           different performance and the telemetry saturation.

12/5 10:25 - 10:35
           XIS event rates increased up to 10^3 cnts/8s/segment probably 
           due to the large solar flare (X9.0) occurred at 10:18.

           Temperature anomaly in XIS1.  
           The CCD temperature increased up to -63 degC, although the HK 
           value indicated an incorrect temperature of -257 degC. The XIS1 
           data in this period may have significantly different performance
           in terms of the dark current, energy resolution and the gain.

11/7 7:38 - 11/8 7:45
           Temperature anomaly in XIS0.

           up to -80 degC, although the HK data incorrectly showed the nominal
           temperature of -90 degC. The XIS2 data in this period may have
           significantly different performance in terms of the energy 
           resolution and the gain.

3/29 20:13 - 23:11
           No XIS FI (S0,S2,S3) data. 
           The sensors stayed in the standby mode due to the operation error.

3/15 2:18 - 3:02
           XIS1 light leak error.   Light leak estimation became incorrect

           be usable.

3/10 5:45 - 6:30

           around -84 degC.    No significant impact on the data, 
           but the sensor might have slightly different gain.

2/13 16:15
           Soft current limit of TEC was reduced to 92% to avoid excess 
           thermal stress to the XIS heat sink assembly.  After this, 
           CCD temperature might show temporary excursion of a few 
           degrees, which has no impact on the data quality.

           XIS on-board software update.   Data obtained in this period
           may or may not be usable for scientific analysis.    After this
           software update, G7-equivalent grades were rejected on board.
           Light-leak estimation regions were changed from 64x64 to 
           256x113(114).   Event threshold of FI sensors was changed from

           Temperature anomaly in XIS0.   The CCD temperature increased
           up to -70 degC, although the HK data showed incorrect value
           of -104 degC.    The XIS0 data in this period may have significantly
           different performance in terms of the energy resolution and the gain.

           Temperature anomaly in XIS0.   CCD temperature decreased below 
           -90 degC, although the HK data showed incorrect value of -80 degC.
           This may have been caused by the incorrect self-calibration of the 
           ADC due to the particle event just after the SAA passage.   The data 
           may be usable, but the sensor might have slightly different gain.

8/29 2:20 - 2:26
           Charge injection.   Large number of pseudo-events were telemetered.

8/19 4:10 - 9:14

           Size of the light-leak regions was increased from 64x64 to
           256x256, which caused an error in the light-leak estimation.
           The size was set back to 64x64 at 8/19 9:14.
           Data from all the sensors in this period are not usable.
