Synopsis
Straighten LETG/HRC-S spectra by applying tg_d adjustments.
Syntax
dewiggle infile outfile
Description
dewiggle reads in a standard LETG/HRC-S evt2 file and adjusts the TG_D values of all events to remove small "wiggles" and straighten the dispersed spectrum. The adjustments, which are up to +/-1.5 HRC pixels, are applied on a tap-by-tap (CRSV) basis along the dispersion axis and correct small residual errors that cannot be corrected by the HRC-S degapping procedure. Only TG_D values are affected; the output file will not exhibit any changes if displayed in sky or detector coordinates.
dewiggle is generally used in combination with the detilt and symmetrize commands--also contributed software tools--to prepare LETG/HRC-S spectra so that narrower spectral extraction regions can be used to improve the S/N of low-S/N data.
Example
dewiggle input_evt2.fits output_evt2.fits clobber+
Run the program with the clobber parameter enabled.
