    The Mean Detrended CTI

    We report CTIs with a refined data definition. CTIs were computed for the temperature dependency corrected data. Please see 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

    The Mean (max) FPT:

    Mean Width:
    0.85 +/- 0.73 days

    Averaged Focal Plane Temperature

    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.

    HRMA Focus

    Plots below show various characteristics of detected imaging sources. Standard level 2 data products (*src2.fits) are used. Only observations with focus (sim_x) within 0.01 mm of nominal value for given SI configuration are used. Sources are also filtered for strength (SNR > 15).

    For individual detectors, please go to MTA SRC2 Monitoring page.

    Gratings

    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.

    Science Instrument Positional Change Monitoring

    The following plots are the difference between coordinates obtained from Chandra observations and those obtained from existing catalogs vs time in day of mission.

    The following steps are taken to generate these plots.

    The large dispersion around DOM ~ 2400 (Jan 2005) are all due to none grating Capella observations. Many observations are off-axis observations (e.g., obsid 6558).
