TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the hard X-ray response of the CCD detector of the XIS in its high-energy band (1.5-10 keV) and found that the tail component of high energy photopeaks are produced by events with incomplete charge collection.

TL;DR: The TOI-2000 system as mentioned in this paper has a hot Saturn-mass planet with a smaller inner companion, and the inner companion can constrain the hot jupiter formation history by ruling out high eccentricity tidal migration.
