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.

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

The following three plots show trends of SIB from year 2000. CCDs shown here are CCD3, CCD5, and CCD7. Fitted lines are linear fit after eliminating extreme outliers. For >10 keV plots, 2 lines are fit. One is with a 13 keV filter, and another without.

ACIS Corner Pixels
We plot the average corner pixel centroid slope and mean for ACIS observations. Separate plots are shown for FAINT MODE (3X3) and VFAINT MODE (5X5) observations. Metric is the centroid of a Gaussian fit to the histogram of corner pixel PHA values of detected events. Plus signs are FAINT observations, diamonds are VFAINT observations, and boxes are VFAINT observations with centroids computed using only the corner pixels of a 3X3 event island (referred to as AFAINT). We see a very small upward trend.
CCD: I3
CCD: S3
ACIS Bias Trends
The bias plus overclock level was calculated as follows:
- Get acisf*bias0.fits is obtained from a database or /dsops/ap/sdp/cache/*/acis/
- Data with timed mode exposure is selected.
- Fits files were divided into 4 quads, then an average of bias level for each quad is computed. No corrections for dead spots, columns etc were included.
An example of Overclock values as reported in FITS file header:
An example of mean bias minus overclock value:
