file: fluffium_N9996.txt 5/25,26/04 -dd Make a "tweak" to the N9997 fluffium model to include Alexey's 4/20/04 "Spatial structure in the ACIS OBF contamination" memo information. Specifically, he points out that the "Herman's edges" I am using are valid for S-array CHIPY = 177 and at that location at that reference time (2002.82) the tau_L should be 0.564 . So, I'll take the present fluffium at 2002.82 and scale it to get the desired tau_L... I will also adjust the weighting of the new acis_contam_abs_v5.tbl file so that at 2002.82 the four columns/components are to be taken EACH with weight 1.0; hence this file can serve as the tau_L = 0.564 reference all by itself. ---------------- Use the same fluffium shape we had in N9997: *** Fluffium to use: * * acis_contam_fluf15thkMOD.tbl * *** IDL> readcol, 'acis_contam_fluf15thkMOD.tbl', fwav, f15mod IDL> plot, fwav, f15mod, yrange=[0.8,1.03],/ysty,xrange=[0.,65.0],/xsty,linestyle=1 ------------------ Now continue as in N9998 and N9997 creation process - summarized here: Read in this Fluffium file as well as Herman's original "abs" file and write out a new version which has an extra Fluffium column and is normalized for 1.0 weight for all columns and has tau_L - 0.564 - these steps were done in IDL as documented in: contam_add_fluffium.040525.pro Manually pre-pend header info to the IDL-written file and now we have the new file: acis_contam_abs_v5.tbl * Note version 5 is being used to match the version 5 * that will be created for the time dependance... Which looks like: # Created by DD on 5/25/04 # # file: acis_contam_abs_v5.tbl # # This file was created by adding a Fluffium column # to the existing "edge" file # acis_contam_abs_v1.tbl . # # The Fluffium transmission was taken from the file: # acis_contam_fluf15thkMOD.tbl and converted to optical depths. # # The depths given here are for time = 2002.82 and S-array CHIPY = 177 # and have been modified so that at this time each component has # relative thickness of 1.000 . # # tau_L for this file is 0.564 . # # See also: fluffium_N9996.txt and contam_add_fluffium.040525.pro . # # Optical depths due to each component # # wavelength C-K O-K F-K Fluffium 1.01250 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 1.48600e-05 1.03750 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 1.48600e-05 ... 16.9875 0.217545 0.0510126 0.0665882 0.161041 17.0125 0.218419 0.0512011 0.0672259 0.161245 ... 56.3125 0.163164 0.0539854 0.0640996 0.156160 56.3375 0.163348 0.0540539 0.0641677 0.156276 -------------------------------------- OK, now the time dependance.... We'll create a new file: acis_contam_tau_t_v5.tbl which will have the 2002.82 line read: 2002.820 1.000 1.000 1.0000 1.0000 and which will be scaled from these values by Alexey's tau_L of time for the location : S-array, CHIPY=177. So do that in IDL in contam_add_fluffium.pro and write out the new file: acis_contam_tau_t_v5.tbl and add header info to this IDL-created file... et voila. Send the 'v5 "S-array, CHIPY=177" files to Dave H. - - - - -
