M&TA December 2018 Monthly Report

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

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

Fid Light Drift

Fid light positions on ACA drift with time. The drift trends of Fid light 2 with ACIS-I and ACIS-S configurations are shown below.

The top panel shows Fid light 2 drift in ACENT I (app. along with -Y axis), and the bottom panel shows that in ACENT J (app. along with Z axis). The unit is a pixel, and one pixel is approximately 0.5 arcsec. The slope listed at the top right corner is the change in a position per year (arcsec/yr). The vertical line on DOM = 1411 (Jun 1, 2003) indicates a transition date of use of IRU-1 to IRU-2.
