Radiation

High radiation conditions continued this week. Our attempt to restart science was soon thwarted by SCS107 upon belt exit on Nov 2. About 43 ks were obtained from obsids 5240 and 4216 in the orbit prior to shut-down.

For details about science interruption due to the solar activity, please see ACE Data Plot Page

Detrended CTI

Average of ACIS-I CCDs (MnKa) slope 8.582e-9 CTI/day
Detrended slope 8.658e-9 CTI/day

ACIS Warm Pixels

We display all bad pixels showed up in past, and, if any, previously unknown bad pixels appeared in the last 14 days. We also list hot pixels (defined as 1000 above the average of bias background). Warm columns 509-514 are probably due to a computational artificial effect due to boundaries.


ACIS Focal Plane Temperature

For this period no peaks are observed.

Recent Observations

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