Tutorials for High Energy Astrophysics study of Supernova Remnants (SNRs) using XSPEC and eROSITA data analysis. It can also be used for general X-ray spectral analysis and eROSITA data analysis.
1. XSPEC
This directory contains tutorials that walk you through using XSPEC for X-ray spectral analysis. It includes:
- Loading and modifying data
- Plotting spectra
- Defining models
- Performing fits
- Visualizing results
- Handling background modeling
Additionally, it contains a tutorial on PyXspec, a Python interface for XSPEC. PyXspec simplifies using XSPEC within a Python environment, allowing for more flexible and automated analysis and visualization.
This directory contains tutorials that guide you through using the eROSITA Science Analysis Software System (eSASS) for analyzing eROSITA data. It includes:
- Setting up the data
- Data reduction by filtering out flares
- Creating images
- Remove point sources and Asmooth
- Extracting spectra (In progress)
It also includes Python scripts for these tasks, which can be used to automate the analysis process. The tutorials provide step-by-step instructions on each step of the script, allowing for understanding and modification according to your needs. For more details, refer to the README file in this directory.
Note: More tutorials will be added in the future to cover more aspects of X-ray spectral analysis and eROSITA data analysis.
Tools to hide/remove point sources in FITS images by replacing source pixels with random values from surrounding annuli (DS9 regions).
