Gain Notes for Revolution 605 JEM-X1: A quite normal revolution with fine gain fitting. All the data from this revolution should be useable. Final confirmation of the goodness of the gain calibration must be confirmed by a Xe analysis of the entire revolution. The fact that this was the Crab calibration revolution in no way seems to have affected this unit. JEM-X2: This is was the Crab calibration revolution, in which JEM-X2 was activated for the very first time in 6 months. Unfortunately, it was reactivated with the incorrect energy channel linearization table and it took several hours before this was noticed and corrected. This means that data from the first part of the revolution cannot be processed with the usual OSA and its IMOD tables since one of the tables is incorrect for these hours. Also, since the calibration spectra have also been clearly affected (see uncorrected figures) by this problem, none of the data in this revolution can be processed using the automatically generated gain history table. An IC gain history table delivered to ISDC by us must be used for this revolution, even for data taken after the correct linearization table was uploaded to the satellite. Data figures labelled `Uncorrected' show what happens when the gain correction defaults to linear interpolation instead of smoothing when the non-IC table is used. The other results show the data obtained when using the IC table. The entire early period where the wrong onboard PHA binning table was used is now declared an ISDC BTI and should not be used (BTI IJD= 2825.86650000 to 2826.53187180719). It was anyway during this period that the usually inactive unit was warming up and stabilizing for use, and even without the problem with the onboard table, this data would be of very poor quality. Apart from a 10 kSec staring observation of the Crab, this unit had nearly no telemetry so that both the science data and calibration data are of very poor quality due to very strong grey filtering (3% open). It is strong suggested that users do not use data outside of the dedicated JEM-X Crab observation. The Xe line analysis results shown here were calculated using the IC Gain history table version 1 delivered to ISDC October 2007. You can download this from the last column of the table, under the link "ICgainHistoryTable", or as part of the ISDC IC package. When running the OSA software with the latest IC package, the OSA scripts will automatically find the latest IC gain history table if one exists for the revolution you are processing.
