Hi, Looking at the Chandra proposal thread: Calculate Exposure Time for a Single Line Detection using ACIS-S/HETG which is at http://cxc.harvard.edu/proposer/threads/ldet_hetg/index.html At the start of the page it says: ``We would like to determine the exposure time needed to make a 5 sigma detection of hydrogen-like Ne at 0.9-1.3 keV with a flux of 2.0e-5 photons cm^-2 s^-1.'' They start with a guess of 35ks. After going through several steps (a bit more than half way down the page) they say: ``The lowest flux that could be detected is therefore 2.6584e-05 photons cm^-2 s^-1. The chosen 35ks exposure time is adequate to detect the line of interest.'' Is this a misprint? Thanks, Saku ---- You received this message because you are subscribed to the isis-users list.
