... Consistent uncertainties of background and sources are provided. The source probability is evaluated for single pixels as well as for pixel domains to enhance source detection of weak and extended sources. ... Method Given the observed data set D = {dij } N0 , where dij expresses photon counts in a pixel cell ij , two complementary hypotheses arise: Bij dij = bij + ij B ij dij = bij + sij + ij Hypothesis Bij specifies that dij consists only of background bij spoiled with noise ij . ...

... Estimation of the residual Soft Proton flare contamination . ... The script can be run on any EPIC event files (MOS1, MOS2 and/or pn), to estimate the amount of *residual* Soft Proton (SP) flare contamination, i.e. it should only be used *after* attempts have been made to clean the event files for SPs using GTI filtering. ... The higher the in-FOV to out-of-FOV ratio, the more the file is contaminated by SPs: . ... File is not contaminated by SPs. ... File is slightly contaminated by SPs. ...

Next: *imexamine* - General analysis Up: Regions and Source Parameters Previous: *imcnts* - Find background . input file: xdata$snr.qp . output file: snr_cnt.tab . ... N.B.: The use of imcnts to obtain counts in regions can lead to wrong results when more than one region is used in the same run, if there is any overlap between them, since each pixel can be assigned to ONE AND ONLY ONE region (the last one defined that includes that pixel. See ``help regions''). rsdc@cfa.harvard.edu . ...

... In most astronomical observations the image intensity consists of contributions from both object and sky background. Depending on the complexity of the field and the type of object, different methods are used to estimate and subtract the background intensity. ... Non--linear filters are often used to remove stellar images and other sharp features (see Section ) while extended objects are very difficult to eliminate automatically. ...
