Popis:	The Arcus Probe mission concept provides high-resolution soft X-ray and UV 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 (XRS) utilizes two nearly identical CCD focal planes to detect and record X-ray photons from the dispersed spectra and zero-order of the critical angle transmission gratings. In this paper we describe the Arcus focal plane instrument and the CCDs, including laboratory performance results, which meet observatory requirements. Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures; to be published in JATIS
