Abstract:

Orbital calibrations of the XIS, in terms of the energy scale, energy resolution, and quantum efficiency, are needed not only to confirm the calibrations on the ground but also to examine inevitable performance change in orbit. Fundamentals of the XIS calibration issues have been established and are implemented the softwares and the data base for general observers. We overview the current status of the XIS calibration in orbit.
