XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... Meta Index / Home Page The position of a source on the image ( XPOS and YPOS ) are referred to a coordinate origin in which the pixel at the far-left and bottom of the image has coordinates 1.0, 1.0. The coordinates are computed using the first-order moments of the intensity profile, and the algorithm is similar to that used in the sextractor program (please see the sextractor manual for a detailed discussion).

... Step 1: The Footprint position calculation by the magnetic field line tracing from the satellite position up to the Ionosphere by using IGRF + Tsyganenko [1987] magnetic field model (the stop trace altitude 110 km). Step 2: Tracing back from the Footprint (produced on the Step 1) to the dipole equatorial plane (by using only IGRF magnetic field model up to the geocentric distance 8 RE and dipole field model after this distance). ...

... Up: Description of program searchdup Previous: Program use . Input records are ordered per date of observation, and the list of known (observed) sources is cleared. Each record is compared in position to all the known sources. If the sky distance is less or equal to the specified one, the record is added to the list of observations for that source. If no known sources are within the specified radius, a new source is created, with the coordinates of the observation record. ...
