Abstract

We report the temperature dependence of Gas Multiplier Counters (GMCs) onboard the 6U CubeSat X-ray observatory NinjaSat.The detector performance of GMC depends on the temperature. The temperature dependence of the gain was calibrated for the detector response function in orbit using data from the Crab Nebula. The fit results using the function created improved the ratio of the fit curve to the data from 12% to 4% before and after gain correction.
