- Additional plotting options: a) Plot only the spectrum without fit
b) Plot only the fit, but not the spectrum
- Data file can also read spectra with only two columns instead of five.
The instrumental background will then be assumed zero in all bins, and the
Poissonian errors (i.e.
) are used.
A three-column data file is interpreted as: wavelength grid, count spectrum,
instrumental background. Errors, again, all Poissonian.
- New program cora_rgs applicable from console, converting fits
files returned by the XMMSAS task rgsproc, into the CORA format, using
the header information for exposure time and aspect data. The cfitsio library
is required, when compiling this program.
- Script for reducing XMM-RGS data. User has to define environment variables
which are used for naming convention
- Scripts are provided customizing the installation, for either Tc-shell
(cora_setup.tcsh) or K-shell (cora_setup.ksh). The environment variables
must be set in a manner corresponding to the individual system.
- Tooltips are included for each button, entry field, etc. in the GUI
giving a little explanation.
- Removing an individual line from the linelist is possible by setting
the wavelength value to 0 or negative values.
- The X-axis can be plotted in units keV.
- All
values except for the first value can be set to zero
- Version number can be requested with -V option.
