HRI Processing
The processing for the HRI essentially is done along the same lines as shown for the PSPC. Some of the analysis steps done for PSPC in TEL processing are shifted to OBI processing.
Sources are detected using several detection cells sizes. Multiple identifications of a source with different cell sizes are noted. Detected sources are checked for possible time variability. A map of appropriate sources from the SIMBAD catalogue is produced and the source list correlated with the X-ray data.
Details will be added later.
