Question (質問)

Recently, I am trying to estimate CXB for XIS detector. At the step, the program requires a response file as follows

XSPEC>mo wa*pow
...
XSPEC>fakeit none
For fake data, file # 1 needs response file: ?????

I want to know which file I should use as a response file. Where can I get this response file? I look at the following
cite for fakeit none command but I don't know which response file to use.

Can you help me about which file in this site i should use?

Answer (答え)

There is no default XIS response file for estimation of the CXB, because it depends on the area you use. Since we can assume that the CXB is (almost) uniformly irradiated on the sky, you can get a ARF file via 'xissimarfgen' with the mode 'source_mode=UNIFORM'. For detail, please check
fhelp xissimarfgen
or, read the paper by Y.Ishisaki et al PASJ 59 pp.113-132 (2007).
