  • about the calibration sources
    • ACIS --Fe55 with Al&Ti (Fe-L), uniform illumination, getting pretty wimpy, only sampled twice per orbit
    • XIS --Fe55 with no targets, no Fe-L, only in corners, getting wimpy, continuously sampled (except SAA)
    • measure Fe55 half-life extremely well
  • Measuring CTI, ACIS vs XIS (methodology)
    • ACIS – fit all grades, fit only center pixel pulseheight vs ccdy/ccdx (binning/fitting details tooneeded)
    • XIS , fit only good grades, summed pulseheight from top cal source corners
    • (should we process ACIS the same way as XIS for comparison? only use center pixels?)
    • only use Mn K alpha
    • include (question) checker-flag CTI measurement for XIS, SCI-off (Ozawa 2009)
