... This task constructs the PPS product OM OSW FITS source timeseries from two rate files (source and background) produced by separate runs of EVSELECT on a tracking-shifted, QE-corrected OM fast-mode event-list. ... The counts measured in the source and `background` regions, together with the PSF function evaluated over the corresponding regions, are used to set up equations which are then solved to yield source and background rates evaluated for the nomimal coincidence-loss region (r=12 pixels). ...

The first of the equations defines the position of the spectral orders, m , in the raw image, while the second equation gives, for each order, the dispersion relation in one dimension. ... where the coefficients are computed using least squares techniques on a grid , i.e. sample number and line number of points located within the spectral orders of the image. These points in the grid are found automatically by an order--following algorithm, normally using the FLAT or STD image. ...

... Step 1: The Footprint position calculation by the magnetic field line tracing from the satellite position up to the Ionosphere by using IGRF + Tsyganenko [1987] magnetic field model (the stop trace altitude 110 km). Step 2: Tracing back from the Footprint (produced on the Step 1) to the dipole equatorial plane (by using only IGRF magnetic field model up to the geocentric distance 8 RE and dipole field model after this distance). ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...
