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.

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 following three plots show trends of SIB from year 2000. CCDs shown here are CCD3, CCD5, and CCD7. Fitted lines are linear fit after eliminating extreme outliers. For >10 keV plots, 2 lines are fit. One is with a 13 keV filter, and another without.

ACIS Histogram Mode Trends
We collected data from acis histogram mode data, and created trend plots of peak portions and peak widths against time (DOM). The peaks were estimated by fitting a simple Gaussian on three peaks (Al, Ti, and Mn), and the widths were estimated by a width at the half max from the peak.
All histogram data are taken under TIMED and GRADED_HIST mode, SIM position is at an external calibration source position, the focal temperature is around -119.7 C, and parameter settings in aciselec, acistemp are set to about same for all.

Radiation History
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)
