Next: Inspection of results Up: *fit* - Fit Data Previous: Verbose Mode . If the number of net counts for a source is less than it is impractical to fit the data in all 34 energy bits. However, if the flux is required, then a fit must be performed first. ... Fit will then calculate the normalization of the model and xflux can be used to determine the flux and luminosity of the source from the best fit model. xs> fit rebin=yes . ...

Next: Column NDETUSED Up: Passbands Previous: Column FILTCODE_ n . If ``neutral'' filters are used, their quantitative effect should be stored in a column named NDVALUE. The real number stored here should normally be the factor by which the intensity measured through the ND filter should be multiplied to be on the same scale as data taken without the ND filter. ... Because ``neutral'' filters are not really neutral, the value will differ somewhat from one passband to the next. ...
