Despite the fact that Centaurus A is one of the best studied extragalactic objects the origin of its hard X-ray and soft -ray emission is still poorly understood. ... A review of hard X-ray and -ray emission will be given (keV up to GeV) and the contribution of this observations to models of the Centaurus A emission wil be discssed.

... The active time at each angular bin is the sum over frames of the active time contributions from all CCD pixels, within the node-specific telemetry window, which overlap the surface of the bin. ... The active time, per frame, of a normal pixel is the full frame integration time multiplied by the node-specific fractional exposure; bad pixels contribute no active time. ... If an event is rejected for this reason only, then its pixels remain normal in the exposure map. ...

... Because the DMR instrument is differential and every pixel is multiply sampled, sky maps are produced by solving a coupled system of linear equations (the normal equations) to minimize a chi-squared. ... This is reflected in the algebraic form of the normal equations matrix, so that, if one were to diagonalize the matrix, one would find a single eigenvector whose eigenvalue was identically zero, and the associated eigenvector, viewed as a sky map, would have a constant value. ...
