Front- and back-illuminated X-ray CCD performance in lowand high-earth orbit: Performance trends of Suzaku XIS and Chandra ACIS detectors

Since the launch of the Suzaku X-ray astronomy satellite into low- earth orbit in July, 2005, the performance of the CCD detectors in the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) detectors have slowly degraded, as expected, due to accumulating radiation damage. We compare the evolution of front- and back-i...
