Description
We present step-by-step X-ray data analysis procedures as part of the
Chandra Multi-wavelength Project. They consist of additional data
corrections and data screening post CXC Standard Data Processing Rev 1
and the determination of sources and their X-ray properties. Using 3
deep ACIS imaging fields (MS 1137.5+6625, CL0848.6+4453 and A0620-00)
with exposure times ranging from 50 ks to 190 ks, we discuss in
particular gain correction, aspect correction, removing bad pixels and
node boundaries, removing ACIS flaring pixels, streak correction for the
S4 chip and excluding high background intervals. Optimal parameters for
source detection and X-ray source properties such as X-ray colors are
also discussed.
