Tips

• Sarah Vitek's notes on how to use XSPEC. This is slightly outdated, so I suggest you look at the following as well:
• Dick Edgar's memo of 9 Dec 1996, with hints about how to use XSPEC to analyze XRCF FPC and SSD data.
• Dick Edgar's memo of 9 Dec 1996, showing how to analyze single and multiple FPC and SSD data without ASC pipelines.
• Rosetta Stone showing the meaning of the small integers that govern the filter and gas parameters in JMModel and JMKramer models in XSPEC. (obsolete)
• Rosetta Stone showing the meaning of the small integers that govern the filter and gas parameters in the new JMKMOD model in XSPEC.
• Dick Edgar's memo of 12 Dec 1996, giving a step-by-step procedure for the analysis of multiple FPC or SSD spectral datasets, with a description of what scripts do what.
• Dick Edgar's memo of 16 Dec 1996, outlining what types of data products might be produced for each type of XRCF test. This serves as an outline for the post-reduction data analysis.
