The images script is a tool designed to create attractive XMM-Newton images.
images is a bash shell script designed to reduce and combine data from
the XMM-Newton EPIC pn and MOS cameras to produce X-ray images in several
energy bands. OM data processing is also performed if required.
The script performs several corrections to the data including,
filtering for periods of high background, removal of bad pixels and
columns (from calibration files and user-specified), smoothing, exposure
correction, and merging of pn and MOS data. The script, along with
information on how to use it, can be found at:
