Abstract

The Arcus Probe mission concept provides high-resolution soft X-ray and ultraviolet spectroscopy to reveal feedback-driven structure and evolution throughout the universe with an agile response capability ideal for probing the physics of time-dependent phenomena. The X-ray spectrograph utilizes two nearly identical charge-coupled device (CCD) focal planes to detect and record X-ray photons from the dispersed spectra and zero-order of the critical angle transmission gratings. We describe the Arcus focal plane instrument and the CCDs, including laboratory performance results, which meet the observatory requirements.
