5.19 The RGS pipeline products

The PPS products generated by rgsprods, an automatic version of rgsproc

http://xmm-tools.cosmos.esa.int/external/sas/current/doc/rgsprods

have some differences compared to the files produced interactively although, since SAS v6.0, 1st-order response matrices are also included. The number of RGS pipeline products is quite large (see the Pipeline Products Description document) but may be handled with ease by pointing a browser to the hypertext index files, starting with INDEX.HTM, included in the distribution. RGS pipeline product file names are of the form :

• PiiiiiijjkkaablllCCCCCCmnnn.zzz, where

  iiiiiijjkk

  observation number

  aa

  detector, R1 - RGS1, R2 - RGS2, RG - both

  b

  S for scheduled observation, U for unscheduled, X for general purpose

  lll

  exposure number or 000 if none

  CCCCCC

  file identification shown in Table 9

  m

  order number

  nnn

  source number

  zzz

  file type

  FTZ

  gzipped FITS format for use, for example, with xmmselect, ds9 or fv

  HTM
