As a result, a common magnitude scale (contour lines on the maps above, or color scale on Fig.1) will poorly display the short-duration events in a signal. Normalizing each line of the map (fixed duration) so it has unit variance (in effect dividing the energy map by the mean energy spectrum) at each duration restores more details of small-scale activity (Fig. ...

Return the telescope effective area in square cm averaged over the given energy band and at a specified position in the telescope field of view. ... the effective area at any position in the field of view is calculated from an on-axis effective table and from a set of vignetting tables provided in the CCFs. The vignetting tables are normalized to one on-axis and are provided as a function of the off-axis angle for energies ranging from 100 eV to 15 keV. ...

... A frequently used procedure, alternative to the correction for the chromatic response, is to normalise the continuum to unity by dividing the observed spectrum by a smooth approximation of its continuum. This approximation can be obtained either interactively with the graphic cursor, or from a table (command NORMALIZE/SPECTRUM ) or by dividing the raw data by itself after filtering or smoothing. Median filtering and running average algorithms are well suited for this purpose (command FILTER ). ...
