Example

Consider the example of an ASCA SIS spectrum extracted from a circular region of radius 80 detector pixels centered on the detector coordinate position (430.32,410.60). The rebinning factor used to make the WMAP is 8 (ie WMREBIN is set to 8). The event file specifies the ASCA SIS detector pixel has a size of 0.027 mm so the CDELT1 and CDELT2 are set to $0.027 * 8 = 0.216$. The original detector coordinates have a reference pixel of the center of the array (640.5, 640.5) and assign this a physical position of (0mm, 0mm). The CRPIX1/2 keywords give the WMAP pixel positions of the physical position (0mm, 0mm).

The keywords ending in P document the relation between the original detector pixels and the WMAP pixels. Thus CDELT1/2P is 8 for the rebinning factor while CRVAL1/2P give the original detector coordinate position of the WMAP pixel (1,1) (as specified by CRPIX1/2P).
