rotdet2sky (rotdet2sky-0.16.1) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]


Description

rotdet2sky uses information from the previously created count image in sky coordinates to rotate the detector coordinate model particle background images produced by mosback and model soft proton images produced by proton into images in sky coordinates. rotdet2sky obtains the DETX/DETY and X/Y reference coordinates then does the transform calculations.

Warning and requirements: rotdet2sky is part of the esas package integrated into SAS, but it is limited to work within the esas data reduction scheme. This is specially true wrt the structure and names of the input files. In particular, rotdet2sky assumes that other tasks from the package, mosspectra/pnspectra and mosback/pnback have been successfully run for the recasting of the particle background, as well as proton for the recasting of the soft proton background.
