Maeda, Yoshitomo; Ishida, Manabu; Okajima, Takashi +12 more

The international x-ray observatory ASTRO-H was renamed "Hitomi" after launch. It covers a wide energy range from a few hundred eV to 600 keV. It is equipped with two soft x-ray telescopes (SXTs: SXT-I and SXT-S) for imaging the soft x-ray sky up to ∼12 keV, which focus an image onto the respective focal-plane detectors: CCD camera (SXI) and a cal…
