pn_back (esas-0.11.2) [xmmsas_20201028_0905-19.0.0]

Output Files

For the different values of comp, the output files are:

• pnprefix-aug.qdp – A QDP plot file showing the selected region of hardness/count rate distributions for the various ccds.
• pnprefix-back-im-det-elow-ehigh.fits – The model particle background image for the prefix exposure, selected energy band (elow and ehigh), and the selected region. The image is in detector coordinates.
• pnprefix-back.pi – The model particle background spectrum for the prefix exposure and the selected region.
• pnprefix-spec.qdp – A QDP plot file showing the observed spectrum and the model background spectrum.
• Additional output when diag=2
• pnprefix-back.qdp – A QDP plot file showing the normalized model background spectrum.
• pnprefix-back-accum.qdp – A QDP plot file showing the accumulating background spectrum. Chip 1 at the bottom increasing upwards.
• pnprefix-bridge-fit.qdp – A QDP plot file showing the the fit for the Al bridge.
