SPI processing of R.O.T. data

Reference Orbit Test (R.O.T.) data for SPI scientific analysis

Find below a list of science windows which can be analysed using the SPI scientific analysis (starting from the prepared data and running up to imaging and spectra level). All data are taken on January 19, 2002.
NOTE! All science windows which end with 1.000 are taken in SLEW mode, thus should not be used for running spiros / spiskymax (run spi_science_analysis only up to the BIN_I level!). There is no R.O.T. data set where the source is at a sufficient distance to SPI that you can perform a meaningful image reconstruction using spiros / spiskymax.

In all cases the source used during the reference orbit test is a combined ²²Na + ¹³⁷Cs (find a list of expected gamma-ray lines for different isotopes here)

To produce a spectrum with spi_science_analysis of the ²²Na + ¹³⁷Cs lines, you can use this parameter file (if you want to use it, copy it to your $PFILES/spi_science_analysis.par). To produce an image with spi_science_analysis use this parameter file (creates spiros and spiskymax image of the 511 keV line).
