Thanks for these products Leisa et al.,
On your web page describing them, you state that for S3, only one RMF is
needed, since the spectral response has little spatial dependence. I have
extended sources covering the entire S3 chip, which I intend to divide
into annuli for spectral analysis - can I truly use one RMF for the entire
analysis?
Also, I am interested in using Alexey Vikhlinin's background reduction
code and I wanted to confirm my assumption that his code could
be run following yours, and that it would be 'safe' to do so.
