• The Mean Detrended CTI

  From this month, we report CTIs with a refined data definition. CTIs were computed for the data taken during the focal plane temperature < -119.7 C, and the integration time longer than 7,000 sec. This eliminates a CTI temperature dependency, and the shows CTI degradation with time much more cleanly. Please see new 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

  
  
  CTI Slope (after DOM 200)

  CTI slopes were computed for data point after DOM 200 and inside of 1 sigma deviation. Using only data point in 1 sigma range, we drop high temperature observations, squeegy observations, and other outliers. A independent variable is date, and a dependent variable is CTI.

• Focal Plane Temperature

    
         The Mean (max) FPT: -116.68      std dev: 2.08
                 mean width:    0.49 days std dev: 0.36 
  

  
  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.
  

• Bad Pixels
  

  The plots below were generated with a new warm pixel finding script. Please see Acis Bad Pixel Page for details.

• Acis Count Rate Plot
  This monitors the ACIS count Rate vs. EPHIN count Rate.
  No sources are removed. For daily updates see: Ephin/Acis Info


• ACIS Rejected Events
  The links below are plots of stat1 quantities, showing on-board rejected events. The average EVTSENT, DROP_AMP, DROP_POS, DROP_GRD, THR_PIX, and maximum BERR_SUM obtained from L1 acis*stat1.fits files are plotted for each observation. CTI observations are plotted separately from regular science observations.
  
  Column definitions:
  • EVTSENT - number of events sent in data record
  • DROP_AMP - number of discarded events due to corrected amplitude
  • DROP_POS - number of discarded events due to CCD position
  • DROP_GRD - number of discarded events due to grade code
  • THR_PIX - number of pixels above respective threshold level
  • BERR_SUM - number of pixel bias errors so far in science run
  
  Note the half-life decay of the CTI source is clearly evidenced in the steady decline of EVTSENT.

• Focus
  
  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 Focus pages.

Radiation Zone Timing

Plotted below are radiation zone timing plots based on the following definitions of radiation zone:
RADZONE - Ephin levels (in any of the E1300,P4GM,P41GM channels) are more than 1/3 of RADMON safing thresholds.
RADMON - Radmon is disabled for radiation zone (as commanded based on OFLS model, for comparison with actual radiation levels).
PERIGEE - Time of closest earth approach (for comparison).
