... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

The method requires that the CCD substrate be etched from the rear towards the depletion layer boundary. The device can be illuminated through this rear surface, which has a much thinner dead layer than the electrode side. ... The corresponding detection efficiency data are presented in Figure 7, and compared with the predicted data for a 20 m thick depletion layer. ...

We describe the data reduction algorithms for the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). These algorithms were based on extensive preflight testing and modeling of the Si:As (24 ЮМm) and Ge:Ga (70 and 160 ЮМm) arrays in MIPS and have been refined based on initial flight data. ... The first part converts the nondestructively read data ramps into slopes while removing artifacts with time constants of the order of the exposure time. ...

The overall efficiency (including atmospheric transmission, reflectivity of the telescope mirrors and overall efficiency of the optics and of the detector) for broad-band imaging should be about 25% in H and K, and about 15% in J. The main noise source for both broad- and narrow-band imaging should be the photon noise associated to the background+source flux. ... Flat fielding (and possibly background subtraction) might increase the noise by a factor 2 ? ...
