emevents (emevents-8.8) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]

Output Files

1. new event list file with an EVENTS extension with a different number of rows and modified/additional items:
   • modified columns RAWX, RAWY (for PRODUCT: EPIC event list)
   • new INTEGER*2 columns DETX, DETY (0.05”) (for attcalc and PRODUCT: EPIC event list)
   • new REAL*8 column TIME (s) (for PRODUCT: EPIC event list)
   • new INTEGER*2 column FLAG (for emenergy)
   • new REAL*4 columns PHA (ADU) and PI (eV) (for emenergy). In TIMING mode the original ENGYE1E2 column is moved to PHA.
   • new empty INTEGER*4 columns X, Y (0.05”) (for attcalc)
   • modified columns ENERGYE1 and ENERGYE2 (E$_1$ and E$_2$ in the text) These columns do not exist in TIMING mode.
   • modified WINDOW keywords (for PRODUCT: EPIC event list)
   • keyword DET_SYST (for attcalc)
   • keywords RAND_XY and RAND_TIM telling which columns were randomised.
   • keywords FRMTIME, GATTI_ON, COSMICSI, COSMICOU, and CRPATi propagated from the frame file
   • keyword BINODAL warning of 2-node read-out (for emenergy)
   • XMMEA_nn keywords detailing which flags were set, including XMMEA_EM setting the EPIC MOS rejection mask
   • keywords detailing which subroutines were activated, in particular SETCOORD indicates that RAWX/RAWY were changed.
   • comment lines with names of input files
   a BADPIX extension propagated from the input file, an OFFSETS0 extension propagated from the offset/variance file (if any, for emenergy), an OFFSETS extension containing the list of bad offsets (for emenergy and eexpmap, arfgen, lccorr), with the following items:
   • INTEGER*2 column RAWX giving the row (if OFFSETY>0) or column (if OFFSETX>0) of the bad offset
   • INTEGER*2 column OFFSETX giving the amplitude of the additional column offset (0 for row offsets)
   • INTEGER*2 column OFFSETY giving the amplitude of the additional row offset (0 for column offsets)
   and an EXPOSURE extension specific to that CCD/node (for evlistcomb and eexpmap, arfgen, lccorr, [2]), with the following items:
   • REAL*8 column TIME (s) giving the central time of each frame
   • REAL*4 column TIMEDEL giving the integration time of each frame
   • REAL*4 column FRACEXP giving the fraction of effective time
2. a GATTI spectrum file (for calibration purposes) with a SPECTRUM extension with ADU as index (1-4096) and the following items:
   • INTEGER*4 column ORIGINAL giving the histogram of E$_1$*GATTI
   • REAL*4 column SMOOTHED giving (normalised histogram of E$_1$) convolved with (histogram of GATTI)
