Dear Chandra users,
I'd like to announce the initial release of the Deproject package.
Deproject is a CIAO Sherpa extension package to facilitate
deprojection of two-dimensional annular X-ray spectra to recover the
three-dimensional source properties. For typical thermal models this
would include the radial temperature and density profiles. This basic
method has been used extensively for X-ray cluster analysis and is the
basis for the XSPEC model projct. The deproject module brings this
functionality to Sherpa as a Python module that is straightforward to
use and understand.
Full documentation and downloads are available at the project home page:
http://cxc.harvard.edu/contrib/deproject/
Interested users are encouraged to contact me with any questions or comments.
Regards,
Tom Aldcroft
