| Abstract: |
The Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility's (AXAF) High and Low energy transmission gratings (HETG, LETG) data require new tools and data structures to support x-ray dispersive spectroscopy. AXAF grating data files may be a hundred megabytes (MB) in size, however, they will typically only be a few MB. We are writing data analysis software which can efficiently process the data quickly and accurately into wavelengths, orders and diffraction angles for each event. Here we describe the analysis procedure as well as some of the technical constraints we had to overcome in order to process the tasks efficiently. |
