In this section we consider the following coordinate systems:
- the celestial inertial reference frame
- the cartesian relative coordinate system (sky-coordinate system)
- the ROSAT coordinate system
- the image display coordinate system
The additional detector-specific coordinate frames will be discussed
in the following chapters.
