In the same way, constructing an image of the source within the energy band may be done by calling evselect (with withzcolumn =Y withzerrorcolumn =N) : . (9) . (10) . This is directly proportional to the source brightness (no need to divide by the exposure map), except for bad pixels and CCD gaps (see Sect. 3.9 ). XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2007-07-09

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...
