Sensitivity Map Generation - DHBjorndalen/AGN_XMM GitHub Wiki

Sensitivity maps provide insight into the detection sensitivity across the field of view. They indicate how detectable sources of varying brightness are across the image, helping in post-processing analysis.

Key Command:

esensmap expimagesets=MOS1_expmap.ds bkgimagesets=MOS1_bkg.ds \
    detmasksets=MOS1_mask.ds mlmin=10 sensimageset=MOS1_sens_map.ds

Output Files:

MOS1_sens_map.ds, MOS2_sens_map.ds, PN_sens_map.ds

Sensitivity maps give a visual representation of detection limits across the observation, aiding in understanding the depth and coverage of the X-ray observation.
