1PIN1AT reached its highest value so far in the mission, 31.9 C. This occurred during OBSID 2535 which had a pitch angle of 53 degrees. During the observation before 2535, 1PIN1AT was at 25.6 C. So, 1PIN1AT was at an elevated value before 2535 and 38 ks at a pitch angle of 53 degrees was sufficient to result in a temperature of 31.9 C.

Radiation

Quiet.

Detrended CTI

CTI analysis is now computed with "detrending":
Detrend CTI = Measured CTI + S3 amplitude reject rate * Detrend factor.

Average of ACIS-I CCDs (MnKa) slope 8.814e-9 CTI/day
Detrended slope 9.067e-9 CTI/day

ACIS Warm Pixels


The following pixels consistently showed a bias level more than 5 sigma away the chip's mean level during this period.
We suspect some of the recurring bad pixels may be due to biases which are taken just after perigee, when the focal plane is somewhat warm. For more information see the link above and MTA monthly reports.



ACIS Focal Plane Temperature

For this period, 2 peaks are observed.

Recent Observations

"Prob" means that there was probably bad time data included in the manual runs. This will be corrected in future processing.
