Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XIII ASP Conference Series, Vol. ... During early flight operation, the Chandra X-ray Observatory's Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) suffered degradation of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) due to radiation induced charge trapping. The ACIS front-illuminated detector CTI has significantly degraded over time with respect to the intrinsic energy resolution of the chips. ... We will discuss the impact of CTI on events, RMF and gain files. ...

... On exposures affected by it, the warning InvalidObtValue is generated during the processing. This will be fixed with a software update, available in future SAS versions. ... If this problem occurs, you should process the affected pn exposures with SAS versions older than v6.0.0 (indeed, it is enough to run the SAS v5.4.1 epframes , and then, for instance, re-use the output files in a subsequent epchain run, specifying the parameter runepframes=N ). Pages maintained by SAS librarian . ...

Help on Resolving Technical Problems This document outlines procedures for resolving technical problems due to conflicts, installation or configuration of MGA products. ... To help isolate the problem try the following steps: 1) Try a clean boot of your system to see if anything in AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files is causing the problem. ... Software Problems For problems with software applications or drivers, try reconfiguring the graphics adapter to run VGA. ... MGA products are memory-mapped. ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...
