Radiation

Due to a full halo CME on 08/16, a radiation violation of P3 (130Kev) has been observed by ACE (observed fluence: 3.7277e+08, limit = fluence of 3.6e8 particles/cm2-ster-MeV) on 08/18, and Chandra science mission was interrupted (14:30 ET). 83.2 ks of science time was lost.

ACIS/Radiation Environment correlations

Detrended CTI

CTI analysis is now computed with "detrending" derived from reject counters for all imaging CCDs

Average of ACIS-I CCDs (MnKa) slope 1.063e-8 CTI/day
Detrended slope 1.044e-8 CTI/day

ACIS Warm Pixels


The following pixels consistently showed a bias level more than 5 sigma away the chip's mean level during this period.
We suspect some of the recurring bad pixels may be due to biases which are taken just after perigee, when the focal plane is somewhat warm. For more information see the link above and MTA monthly reports.



ACIS Focal Plane Temperature

For this period, 2 peaks are observed.

"Prob" means that there was probably bad time data included in the manual runs. This will be corrected in future processing.
