ACIS

ACIS DOSE registered-photon-map

The steps we took to compute the dose map are;

Level 1 Event files for a specified month are obtained from archive.
Image data including I2, I3, S2, S3 CCDs are extracted from all event files.
All the extracted image data were merged to create a month long exposure map for the month.
The exposure map is opened with ds9, and check a distribution of count rates against energy. From this, estimate the upper threshold value. Any events beyond this upper threshold are assumed erroneous events such as bad pixels.
Using this upper threshold, the data is filtered, and create a cleaned exposure map for the month.
The exposure map from each month from the Sep 1999 is added up to create a cumulative exposure map for each month.
Using fimgstatistic, we compute count rate statistics for each CCDs.
For observations with high data drop rates (e.g., Crab nebula, Cas A), we corrected the observations by adding events.

Note: Counts and RMS's of Cumulative maps are lower than the previous months. This is because we excluded extreme outliers.

The Mean Detrended CTI
We report CTIs with a refined data definition. CTIs were computed for the temperature dependency corrected data. Please see CTI page for detailed explanation. CTI's are computed for Mn K alpha, and defined as slope/intercept x10^4 of row # vs ADU. Data file here
Focal Plane Temperature
```
  
       The Mean (max) FPT: -117.39 C    std dev: 2.14		
               mean width:    0.38 days std dev: 0.36
```
We are using 10 period moving averages to show trends of peak temperatures and peak widths. Note, the gaps in the width plot are due to missing/corrupted data.

The following is a plot of focal plane temperature and sun angle, earth angle, and altitude.
Bad Pixels

The plots below were generated with a new warm pixel finding script. Please see Acis Bad Pixel Page for details.

Science instrument background rates
This page shows scientific instrument background data based on Acis observations. A source region file is generated using get_srcregions and then the input event file is filtered using the regions in that file to remove the sources.

Name	Low (keV)	High(KeV)	Description
SSoft	0.00	0.50	Super soft photons
Soft	0.50	1.00	Soft photons
Med	1.00	3.00	Moderate energy photons
Hard	3.00	5.00	Hard Photons
Harder	5.00	10.00	Very Hard photons
Hardest	10.00		Beyond 10 keV

ACIS Rejected Events

EVTSENT - number of events sent in data record
DROP_AMP - number of discarded events due to corrected amplitude
DROP_POS - number of discarded events due to CCD position
DROP_GRD - number of discarded events due to grade code
THR_PIX - number of pixels above respective threshold level
BERR_SUM - number of pixel bias errors so far in science run
