- SUM_FLAG (J)
The summary flag of the source is derived from the EPIC flag (EP_FLAG, see Sec. 3.1.2 h) and Sec. 3.2.6 ). It
is 0 if none of the nine flags was set; it is set to 1 if at least
one of the warning flags (flag 1, 2, 3, 9) was set but no
possible-spurious-detection flag (flag 7, 8); it is set to 2 if at
least one of the possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8) was
set but not the manual flag (flag 11); it is set to 3 if the manual
flag (flag 11) was set but no possible-spurious-detection flags (flag
7, 8); it is set to 4 if the manual flag (flag 11) as well as one of
the possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8) is set. The meaning
is thus:
0 = good,
1 = source parameters may be affected,
2 = possibly spurious,
3 = located in a area where spurious
detection may occur,
4 = located in a area where spurious
detection may occur and possibly spurious.
For details see Sec. 3.2.7.
This column has additional values as compared to 2XMMP.
EP_FLAG (12A) SAS task
dpssflag
EPIC flag string made of the flags 1 - 12 (counted from
left to right), where flag 10 is not used: it combines the flags in
each camera ((PN_FLAG, M1_FLAG, M2_FLAG), that is, a flag is set in
EP_FLAG if at least one of the camera-dependent flags is set. See Sec. 3.1.2 h)
and Sec. 3.2.6 for a
detailed description of the flags.
This column has additional flags as compared to 2XMMP.
PN_FLAG (12A) SAS task
dpssflag
PN flag string made of the flags 1 - 12 (counted from left
to right) for the PN source detection. A flag is set to
True according to the conditions summarized in Tab. 3.3a for the
automatic flags, and Tab. 3.3b for the
manual flags. In case where the camera was not used in the source
detection a dash is given. In case a source was not detected by the
PN the flags are all set to False (default). Flag 10
is not used.
This column has additional flags as compared to 2XMMP.
M1_FLAG (12A) SAS task
dpssflag
M1 flag string made of the flags 1 - 12 (counted from left
to right) for the M1 source detection. A flag is set to
True according to the conditions summarized in Tab. 3.3a for the
automatic flags, and Tab. 3.3b for the
manual flags. In case where the camera was not used in the source
detection a dash is given. In case a source was not detected by the
M1 the flags are all set to False (default). Flag 10
is not used.
This column has additional flags as compared to 2XMMP.
M2_FLAG (12A) SAS task
dpssflag
M2 flag string made of the flags 1 - 12 (counted from left
to right) for the M2 source detection. A flag is set to
True according to the conditions summarized in Tab. 3.3a for the
automatic flags, and Tab. 3.3b for the
manual flags. In case where the camera was not used in the source
detection a dash is given. In case a source was not detected by the
M2 the flags are all set to False (default). Flag 10
is not used.
This column has additional flags as compared to 2XMMP.
TSERIES
(L)
The flag is set to True if this source has a time series made
in at least one exposure (cf. Sec. 3.1.4).
SPECTRA
(L)
The flag is set to True if this source has a spectrum made in
at least one exposure (cf. Sec. 3.1.4).
