ACIS

ACIS DOSE Registered-Photon-Map

The steps we took to compute the dose map are;

• Level 1 Event files for a specified month are obtained from archive.
• Image data including I2, I3, S2, S3 CCDs are extracted from all event files.
• All the extracted image data were merged to create a month long exposure map for the month.
• The exposure map is opened with ds9, and check a distribution of count rates against energy. From this, estimate the upper threshold value. Any events beyond this upper threshold are assumed erroneous events such as bad pixels.
• Using this upper threshold, the data is filtered, and create a cleaned exposure map for the month.
• The exposure map from each month from the Sep 1999 is added up to create a cumulative exposure map for each month.
• Using fimgstatistic, we compute count rate statistics for each CCDs.
• For observations with high data drop rates (e.g., Crab nebula, Cas A), we corrected the
observations by adding events.

Note: Counts and RMS's of Cumulative maps are lower than the previous months. This is because we excluded extreme outliers.

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

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.

ACIS Gain Trends

We computed ACIS gain and offset from ACIS event1 files used in CTI computation, following the step described by C. Grant ACIS gain @ -120C page.

Instead computing gains and offsets from individual observations, we combined all data from each month and computed an monthly averaged gain and offset.

The following plots show CCD3 and CCD5 gains and offset trends.
