“…Bandpasses of the SIS and the GIS combined with the XRT are around 0.4-10 and 0.7-10 keV, respectively. The SISs have moderate spectral resolution of $130 eV at 5.9 keV and fields of view ( FOVs) of 20 0 ; 20 0 , with four CCD chips fabricated on each SIS ( Burke et al 1994;Yamashita et al 1999). A CCD chip needs 4 s to be read out, and runs of 1, 2, and 4 chips (corresponding to 1, 2, and 4 CCD modes) need 4, 8, and 16 s in an exposure, respectively.…”

“…Two sets of the Solid-State Imaging Spectrometers (SISs) were operated in parallel with the Gas Imaging Spectrometers (GISs), both located separately at foci of four identical thin-foil X-ray telescopes (XRTs). Details of this instrumentation are found in Serlemitsos et al (1995), Burke et al (1991Burke et al ( , 1994, Yamashita et al (1997), Ohashi et al (1996), and Makishima et al (1996), while a general description of ASCA can be found in Tanaka, Inoue, & Holt (1994).…”

“…In comparing the surface brightness of the LGC and LSS, we used only data from the Gas Imaging Spectrometer (GIS; Ohashi et al 1996) coupled to the X-ray telescope (XRT; Serlemitsos et al 1995), primarily because of its larger solid angle than that of the Solid State Imaging Spectrometer (SIS; Burke et al 1994). Moreover, the evaluation of the non X-ray Background (NXB) is well established and the stability of the detector performance has also been confirmed for the GIS, which is suitable for our purpose of searching very extended and faint X-ray emission.…”
