CXC Data Manipulation Demo: 2

Image in Detector Coordinates

Command: dmcopy "pspc.fits[bin detx=32,dety=32]" det.fits

We take the same event list and choose two different columns to bin on: the detector x and y coordinates, detx and dety.

Note that the two bright sources are spread out because of the wobble, while the telescope rib pattern is more prominent. This coordinate system is appropriate for applying detector-based corrections (vignetting, instrumental effects).
