HRI analysis is still in its infancy in Asterix. XSORT will sort the data into the usual Asterix datafiles e.g. an image or time series and will ignore events from known hotspots/deadspots. (currently only MPE HRI data) These datafiles may then be further analysed by the Asterix image processing or time series analysis packages just as for the PSPC.
The correction and response programs will not currently work on these HRI products. Further calibration information is awaited before these routines can be written. The main obstacle at the moment is the lack of pulse height information in the data received; when this is available, the pulse heights may prove to be useful in reducing the contamination of the data by the UV leak. It is also hoped that in due time the pulse heights may give scientifically useful spectral information.
