    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

    May 2023 Focal Temperature

    The Mean (max) FPT:
    -106.46 +/- 8.46 C
    Mean Width:
    0.7 +/- 0.32 days

    Averaged Focal Plane Temperature

    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.

    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.


    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 Histogram Mode Trends

    We collected data from acis histogram mode data, and created trend plots of peak portions and peak widths against time (DOM). The peaks were estimated by fitting a simple Gaussian on three peaks (Al, Ti, and Mn), and the widths were estimated by a width at the half max from the peak.

    All histogram data are taken under TIMED and GRADED_HIST mode, SIM position is at an external calibration source position, the focal temperature is around -119.7 C, and parameter settings in aciselec, acistemp are set to about same for all.

    We plot the width of the zero order streak of ACIS/HETG observations and the width of the zero order image for HRC/LETG observations of point sources. No significant defocusing trend is seen at this time. See Gratings Trends pages.
