TLDR
The XIS is an X-ray imaging spectrometer system, consisting of state-of-the-art charge-coupled devices (CCDs) optimized for Xray detection, camera bodies, and control electronics as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
The XIS is an X-ray Imaging Spectrometer system, consisting of state-of-the-art charge-coupled devices (CCDs) optimized for X-ray detection, camera bodies, and control electronics. Four sets of XIS sensors are placed at the focal planes of the grazing-incidence, nested thin-foil mirrors (XRT: X-Ray Telescope) onboard the Suzaku satellite. Three of the XIS sensors have front-illuminated CCDs, while the other has a back-illuminated CCD. Coupled with the XRT, the energy range of 0.2–12keV with energy resolution of 130eV at 5.9keV, and a field of view of 18 � ×18 �read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the Suzaku broadband observations of two AGNs detected by the Swift BAT hard X-ray (>15 keV) survey that did not have previous Xray data, SWIFTJ0601.9-8636 and SWIFT J0138.6-4001, and found that these objects have an extremely small fraction of scattered light from the nucleus, 0.5% with respect to the intrinsic power-law component.
