... The motivation for this task is to create one high resolution response matrix for a set of observations without the need for creating individual high resolution matrices. ... This task creates a single response matrix file using information from a list of spectrum from multiple observations, and can also combine spectra and background spectra of the same instrument and spectral order to produce final files that can be used for futher, quantitative analysis in a fitting package such as Xspec. ...

Welcome to VDP home page. ... Operation and Measurements The VDP instrument was designed for determination of integral flux vector or integral energetic spectrum at the range 0.2 - 2.4 keV of ions or electrons of magnetospheric plasma. The instrument includes 6 identical Faraday caps, located by following ways: . ... In case of constant voltage, sensor supplies the total flux of ions plus flux of electrons above 2400 eV energy, or total flux of electrons plus flux of ions above 2400 eV energy. ...
