Small Scale Non-linearity (Electronic Position Correction)

 

[Hasinger and Snowden1990]

The electronic correction removes the small-scale nonlinearities induced by the PSPC wires. This correction is independent of tex2html_wrap_inline17003 , but is a function of pulse height. For every tex2html_wrap_inline17005 or tex2html_wrap_inline17007 position, a correction value is calculated from the temporal-gain-corrected pulse height, tex2html_wrap_inline17009 (Sect. 3.4.1), using a parabola. The correctionvector is added to the original position of the event. For equations and calibration file names see Chap. 8.
