JMKMod is a semi-empirical model of flow proportional counters and solid-state detectors. It is designed to be used with the XSPEC X-ray spectrum fitting and analysis package. It was written to analyze the ground calibration of NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory at the Marshall Space Flight Center's (MSFC) X-ray Calibration Facility (XRCF) and has customizations for that facility.
The JMKMod manual is available in jmkmod.pdf. It is somewhat out of date, but since we have lost the source will not be updated (unless someone wants to transcribe it into LaTeX for us). Please see the NOTES file for more up-to-date documentation. The RELEASE.NOTES file tracks changes between versions.
There are three components: the JMKMod source code, optical constants, and mirror effective area tables. They are distributed separately.
Please see the INSTALL file in the source distribution.
The source code is in
jmkmod-VVVV.tar.gz
where VVVV is the version number. Please read the INSTALL file.
JMKMod uses various tables to access the effective areas and optical constants. These are in
jmkmod_tables-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz
where YYYYMMDD is the release date. Please read the README file and the source distribution's INSTALL file.
This tarball contains index files which point to external filters. Several filters are already defined as various versions of the Chandra XRCF HRMA effective area filters.
It contains an index file (optconsts.rdb) which points to the location of the optical constants.
The optical constants are in
optconsts-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz
where YYYYMMDD is the release date. Currently, there are two sets: Gullikson 95 and Extended Henke 95. Please read the source distribution's INSTALL file.
