In A Nutshell

To summarize, the steps taken in RGS data reduction are as follows.

1)

Obtain the raw and pipelined data and store them on the Hera server.

2)

Initialize Hera.

3)

Make the calibration and ODF summary file (run the cifbuild and odfingest tasks).

4)

Rerun the pipeline.

5)

Make a light curve; if necessary, filter the event files by time by rerunning the pipeline again.

6)

Make the response file.
