... Estimation of the residual Soft Proton flare contamination . ... The script can be run on any EPIC event files (MOS1, MOS2 and/or pn), to estimate the amount of *residual* Soft Proton (SP) flare contamination, i.e. it should only be used *after* attempts have been made to clean the event files for SPs using GTI filtering. ... The higher the in-FOV to out-of-FOV ratio, the more the file is contaminated by SPs: . ... File is not contaminated by SPs. ... File is slightly contaminated by SPs. ...

We present observations of the spiral galaxy M33 with Spitzer at 24, 70, and 160 ЮМm. ... We compare the morphology of M33 at far-infrared wavelengths with other standard SF indicators such as HЮБ and radio continuum using a Fourier filtering technique to separate the diffuse emission components from compact sources. We find that the infrared emission at 24 and 70 ЮМm follows closely the structure of the ionized gas, indicating that it is heated largely by hot, ionizing stars. ... citations = 45 . ...

... The generation of simulated sources whose physical properties are well understood is useful in assessing the functionality of point source analysis software. Qpsim is an IRAF/PROS task which will generate events from sources of given intensity, shape, and position and either overlay them on a flat background in a new QPOE file or inject them into an existing QPOE file. ... The simulated data can be a useful tool in calibrating point source analysis software. ...
