Scripts Package:
Version History

• Improved handling of HRC data, including warnings when data needs reprocessing due to different PI characteristics and better support for some subspace filters that appear in Repro IV.
• Event files with OBS_ID keyword of Merged are automatically skipped.
• Interleaved-mode data can now be combined without explicitly listing e1 and e2 observations.
• Handling of missing ancillary files, such as the PBK file, has been improved.
• The asol argument is checked to make sure an aspect histogram is not used by mistake.

• Supports interleaved-mode observations without the user needing to split the e1 and e2 observations into separate directories.
• New recreate_tg_mask parameter added. By default, the existing region appended to the original evt2 file is now used rather than recreated using tgdetect and tg_create_mask.
• When reprocessing an observation using gratings, the ARF and RMF files for each order and arm are now created. They are saved into a tg sub-directory of the output directory.

New scripts to assist in making custom region extraction masks for tgextract2.

See:

• Applying Customized Background Regions to LETG/HRC-S Observations (TO BE UPDATED)

New scripts to that will take a Type II PHA file produced by tgextract or tgextract2 and will create the ARF and RMF for each order and grating arm.
