Output Files

1. An OGIP-compliant Ancillary Response File, as defined in [3].

   This contains a table labelled ARF, that in turn contains:

   • A column labelled ENERG_LO, containing the lower bounds for each energy bin (keV).
   • A column labelled ENERG_HI, containing the upper bounds for each energy bin (keV).
   • A column labelled SPECRESP, listing the area for each energy bin described by the ENERG_LO and ENERG_HI columns.

   and the following attributes:

   • TELESCOP
   • INSTRUME
   • FILTER
   • ARFVERSN
   • HDUCLASS
   • HDUCLAS1
   • HDUCLAS2
   • HDUCLAS3
   • HDUVERS1

2. A intermediate and temporary dataset containing the input detector map in pixel list form. used as input to attcalc to compute the detector-sky coordinate conversion.

   This contains a table labelled EVENTS, which in turn contains:

   • A column labelled VALUE of type real-64
   • A column labelled X of type int-32
   • A column labelled Y of type int-32
   • A column labelled DETX of type int-16
   • A column labelled DETY of type int-16
   • A column labelled TIME of type real-64

   and the following attributes:

   • TELESCOP
   • INSTRUME
   • DATAMODE

3. A version of the input detector map, in pixel list form, filtered using the DSS information stored in the spectrum dataset. This is written out as a permanent dataset with a name corresponding to filteredset if withfilteredset is set to true.

   This contains a table labelled EVENTS, which in turn contains:

   • A column labelled VALUE of type real-64
   • A column labelled X of type int-32
   • A column labelled Y of type int-32
   • A column labelled DETX of type int-16
   • A column labelled DETY of type int-16
   • A column labelled TIME of type real-64

   and the following attributes:

   • TELESCOP
   • INSTRUME
   • DATAMODE
