ESAS FLOW CHART


Figure 4: General flow chart for ESAS processing of XMM-Newton EPIC data for extended emission. The upper part must be done for both spectral analysis or imaging analysis. The lower part need be done only for imaging analysis. This flow chart is a bit simplified; if the region from which the soft proton rate was determined does not match the area for which one wishes to create a soft proton image, some other steps will be necessary.
