XMM-Newton OM Response Files Page . ... Data Analysis SAS News What is SAS? ... The response files have the name om_effarea_<filter>_v2.0.rsp. The response files should be used in conjunction with a spectral data file containing the filter count rate. Such a data file may be created by editing the template filter file om_filter_default.pi with a fits editor such as 'fv' and changing the "RATE" and "STAT_ERR" entries in the SPECTRUM extension to the filter count rate and error. ...

Next: Geometric Corrections Up: Raw to Calibrated Previous: Artifacts . ... The majority of modern detectors (e.g. CCD, diode--array or image tube) have a nearly linear response while photographic emulsions are strongly non--linear. Even for the `linear' detectors, a number of corrections must be included in the intensity calibration. ... A raw frame is then transformed to relative intensities by . ... Thus, the gaussian grain noise on emulsions becomes skewed through the intensity calibration. ...
