Mosaic image assembled by CXC
from 82 Al-K-TMA-TOGA-HSI exposures extending over +/- 50 mm about
zero-order. The LEG spectrum is roughly horizontal and goes out to
+/-10th orders. Besides the prominent Al-K line (1.486 keV), the
broad Carbon K line (0.277 keV) can be seen as an orange smudge just
after the LEG 5th order of Al-K. Jeff K points out that O-K (0.523
keV) is seen just inside of the Al-K third order. The MEG spectrum,
with about 2.5 times the dispersion of the LEG, runs from lower left
to upper right. The HEG spectrum has about 5 times the LEG dispersion
and runs from upper left to lower right. The K-alpha and K-beta are
well separated in the HEG 1st order and in the HEG 2nd order a high-energy satellite line (seen also
in XMM testing) is visible at a distance of dE/E about 1/150 from the
K-alpha line. Histograms of the MEG 3rd order
and HEG 2nd order probe
the Al-K line and/or the instrument performance.
