The eboxdetect task has two different modes of operation: (1) local detection and (2) map detection. eboxdetect is first run in local mode. The local mode source lists serves as input for task esplinemap which creates background maps (one per energy band for each EPIC instrument) which are then used to run eboxdetect in map mode.
The boolean input parameter usemap controls whether the program operates in map mode or in local mode. In both modes, source searching is only performed in the area of the images which is marked by an optional detection mask created by task emask. Use of a detection mask is controlled by the boolean input parameter withdetmask. If true, one detection mask for each EPIC instrument must be supplied (parameter detmasksets). Parameter withexpimage controls the optional use of exposure maps as created by task eexpmap. The value of the exposure image at the location of each detected source is then used to calculate vignetting- and deadtime corrected source count rates. If parameter withexpimage is set to true one exposure image for each energy band of each EPIC instrument must be supplied (parameter expimagesets). If no exposure images are supplied raw count rates are calculated by deriving the exposure information from the good time intervals.
eboxdetect may be used to perform source detection on individual images or on sets of images from different energy bands and/or different EPIC instruments. If source detection on multiple images is performed, the input images and corresponding exposure images, background images and detection masks have to be supplied as lists of file names. All input images and accompanying exposure images, background images and detection masks must have identical orientation and binning and must be supplied in a consistent order.
Both in local mode and map mode background subtracted source counts are calculated by applying correction factors to account for the respective fractions of source counts falling in each source and background area. The respective off-axis angle dependent correction factors are calculated using the current calibration PSF (medium accuracy model). The following equations describe the PSF correction of source and background counts as implemented in the code of the task.

The resulting output source table contains one row per input image for each detected source, plus a number of summary rows containing the broad band results for each EPIC telescope and the combined results for all EPIC telescopes taken together. The individual source rows are identified through the column entries ID_INST and ID_BAND in the output table where ID_INST refers to the EPIC instrument (1: PN, 2: MOS1, 3: MOS2, 0: summary row) and ID_BAND is the energy band number as defined by the ordering in which the energy bands are given on the command line (an ID_BAND value of 0 again refers to the summary information). No summary rows are output if source detection is only performed on a single input image.
The source table lists statistical errors for both count rates and
source positions. Count rate errors are calculated by assuming
Poissonian statistics (
) in both the
source and backgound cells (if eboxdetect is run in local mode) and by
applying standard error propagation. If run in map mode the background
taken from the spline background maps is assumed to be free of statistical
errors. Positional errors are assumed to be equal to the standard deviation
of the distribution of the counts in the detection cell.
The errors of the derived parameters, such as count rates, fluxes,
and source positions in celestical coordinates are derived from the
count and image pixel positional errors, respectively.
Following the definition which was, e.g., used by the ROSAT mission,
detection likelihoods (per energy band and total) are
given for each source in the
form where
is the probability of Poissonian random
fluctuation of the counts in the detection cell which would have resulted in
at least the observed number of source counts.
The value of
is calculated using the incomplete Gamma function
as a function of raw source counts and raw background
counts in the detection box.
See Press et al., Numerical Recipes, chapter 6.2 for the calculation of
.
In case of simultaneous detection runs over several energy bands, the LIKE values from each individual energy band are added and transformed to equivalent single band detection likelihoods using the incomplete Gamma function:
where n is the number of energy bands. A source is included in the output table, if the equivalent single band detection likelihood exceeds the threshold given by parameter likemin.
If detection over several energy bands is performed, up to three hardness ratios are calculated from the source counts in the individual bands. The hardness ratios are defined as follows:
where B denotes the count rates in energy bands n and m, respectively. n and m are specified in input parameter hrdef for each of the three hardness ratios. The default band assignement is given in the following table:
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
1 | 1 | 2 |
2 | 2 | 3 |
3 | 3 | 4 |
The band numbers n, and m (output table column ID_BAND) are assigned to the individual bands by numbering the corresponding input images in the order in which they are given on the command line. It is therefore important that the ordering of the input images is consistent with the contents of hrdef to obtain meaningful hardness ratios.
