HELP FOR CONFLICT FILES ----------------------- Both the website and the CDs include one conflict file per proposal: Prop#.conflict CONFLICTS ========= For each target: - search for targets in all Cycle 15 proposals within 6' (Proposal DB) - search for targets in the Chandra OBSCAT with 6' (ObsCat) (for grids, the radius of the grid is added to the 6' in each case) Type of conflict: Hard = observation being made with the same instrument Soft = observation being made using a different instrument For each conflicted target, the conflict file lists: Proposal number, PI name, target name, exposure time, instrument, ra, dec, separation, Cycle, proposal category AUTOMATIC TECHNICAL REVIEW ========================== Coordinate check: ----------------- NED: check target coordinates are within 60" of those in NED SIMBAD: check target coordinates are within 60" of those in SIMBAD RSS: check of target against ROSAT Sky survey Nearby source search: RSS: search for ROSAT Sky Survey sources within 3' of target HSS: search for HEAO survey sources within 60' of target, brighter than 0.003 (the latter only applied if no Chandra grating is requested) XMM: for sources within 6' of the target in the XXM observation catalog: parameters:target name, type, obs id, exposure time, observation date, ra and dec Suzaku: for sources within 6' of the target in the Suzaku observation catalog: parameters:target name, type, obs id, exposure time, observation date, ra and dec ACIS parameter checks: ---------------------- Notes problem if: - source has too high/low a count rate - pileup may be a problem - CC-mode used with a grating
