The Penn State CCD Simulator: acis_sim |
The Penn State ACIS team is
developing an ACIS simulator which includes some of the most up-to-date
knowledge of the solid state physics of CCD devices. See the section
"Simulations
of CCD Response to X-rays" of the ACIS
Calibration Report for more details.
MARX
is a "suite of programs designed to enable the user to simulate the
on-orbit performance of AXAF". It can also be used to simulate
AXAF calibration at XRCF. A number of MARX simulations are available
on-line:
| AXAF
Mission Support Team Simulations |
The AXAF Mission Support Team
(MST) has done a number of simulations to better understand the performance
of the AXAF optics. For more details, read their documentation.
The MST has used its simulator for:
| AXAF
Science Center Calibration Group Simulations |
The ASC calibration group has
put together a nice web page which lists results of the ASC's
ACIS + HRMA performance models.
Penn
State's High Energy Astrophysics group web pages are maintained by
Scott
Koch.
