README.txt :Author: Manuel Castro Avila :Email: manuel.castro@inpe.br :Date: 30-Oct-2018 National Institute for Space Research (INPE)- São José dos Campos/SP - Brazil Those scripts are intended to aid in extracting spectra and light curves from PN- and MOS-EPIC cameras on board the XMM-Newton satellite, following the SAS Data analysis Threads (https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/sas-threads). The scripts are being developed under financial support from FAPESP (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, Brazil) under grant #2015/25972-0 Make sure you have installed both Heasoft and SAS tools and that the variables HEADAS and SAS_DIR have been set up properly. The scripts will check for non-empty variables, otherwise it will stop the execution. Also set up the SAS_CCFPATH variable accordingly. The scripts will run ONLY in sh-family shells. The best way to run the scripts is via alias, i.e., alias name=". /path/to/the_script.sh"; this is due to the fact that variables SAS_ODF and SAS_CCF must be defined globally for the bash session, since they are required by other scripts. Scripts: -->sas.sh: Either the original .TAR file (the one downloaded from the XMM-Newton database) or the odf directory must be provided. It extracts the files from the *.TAR file, executes both cifbuild and odfingest commands, and set up the necessary environment variables. If the odf directory is provided, check the existence of both .cif and *SUM.SAS files, and set up environment variables accordingly. If you resume your analysis in a new shell session, make sure to always run this script before continuing the analysis. -->config.sh: Create a .conf file in each directory (either pn or mos directories) containing info about the data for that particular camera and observation: camera, operating mode, eventfiles. Other variables are set up by default. Before starting the analysis you can edit the generated file at will. -->execution.sh: This script performs the data analysis: it extracts a clean eventfile and generates images of the observed field of view. The user can then choose the proper extraction regions and add them to the *.conf file in order to generate plots to assess pileup. The user can then extract spectra and/or lightcurves.
