ACIS/Radiation Environment correlations
  • From Shanil Virani: Is There Any Correlation Between the EPHIN E1300/P4 Channels and V2.2 of the CRM?

    Detrended CTI

    CTI analysis is now computed with "detrending":
    Detrend CTI = Measured CTI + S3 amplitude reject rate * Detrend factor.

    Average of ACIS-I CCDs (MnKa) slope 9.127e-9 CTI/day
    Detrended slope 9.257e-9 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.

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