Spectral Analysis



The x-ray spectral analysis consists of a comparison between the observed pulse height spectrum and a pulse height spectrum calculated using a given spectral model. The model, chosen by the user, is convolved with the instrument and telescope responses.

To obtain the spectral parameters for an x-ray source, several steps need to be followed. For each source:

Plots of the gain distribution, the pulse height distribution, the data compared to the model spectra, and of the $\chi ^{2}$ grids can be generated.
