Contents• Current XRT Performance
– No significant time evolution/degradation from the launch
• Updates on software/CALDB/calibration status– New tools: Attitude correction ftools “aeattcor”– The cross calibration of XIS/PIN– Speed-up and general improvement on the ray-tracing cod
e• A bug fix on large angle stray lights (> 5deg,)
• Plan of their future updates– Provide a faster arf generator– More fine ray-tracing tuning

Users, who needs accurate systematic error on the effective area, incorporates the Crab normalization ratio in their spectral fit
We are providing the Crab index, normalization ratio to the users through the web page as a Suzaku memo.

Summary
• Continue to update XISSIM/XISSIMARFGEN beyond version 20070716
• Current Status– Update version of xissim, xissimarfgen: all 2007-07-16 versions– Attitude correction tool “aeattcor” was released and was incorpor
ated in the v 2.0 processing.• Future plan
– Release a faster version of the xissimarfgen: xisarfgen– Improve the calibration accuracy
• Current Test Version nearly completed for– Vignetting
• Work in progress– Angular Resolution (PSF/EEF)– Effective area
