Abstract

A measurement called “local spot scan (LSS)” reveals the detailed local performance of the X-ray Mirror Assembly (XMA) of the XRISM satellite. A 6.4 keV 10 mm×10 mm pencil beam was tiled across the mirror aperture. We extracted three local performance metrics at each spot: effective area (EA), image shift, and image profile. The EA maps on the aperture of all the quadrants (QTs) are quantitatively very similar to each other. The inner region has two times larger local EA than the outer one because of the difference in reflectivity at shallower incident angles. The pattern of the image shift is different per QT. The pattern indicates systematic shifts of reflectors by the reflector alignment structures rather than random shifts, and most area of the XMA aperture has a longer focal length than the design. The image profile was quantified using the Half Power Diameter (HPD). There is much less variation in the HPD maps than in the image shift. The inner region has better HPD because of its better conical approximation and figure error of the reflectors. Patterns visible in the HPD maps are associated with alignment structures at a certain radial range. The local performances acquired by the LSS will be compiled into the Calibration Data Base (CalDB) files.
