In Orbit Timing Calibration of the Hard X-Ray Detector on Board Suzaku
The hard X-ray detector (HXD) on board the X-ray satellite Suzaku is designed
to have a good timing capability with a 61 s time resolution. In addition
to detailed descriptions of the HXD timing system, results of in-orbit timing
calibration and performance of the HXD are summarized. The relative accuracy of
time measurements of the HXD event was confirmed to have an accuracy of
s s per day, and the absolute timing was confirmed
to be accurate to 360 s or better. The results were achieved mainly
through observations of the Crab pulsar, including simultaneous ones with RXTE,
INTEGRAL, and Swift.Comment: Accepted for publication on PASJ Vol.60, SP-1, 200
