Contamination Working Group: Status & Plans Herman L. Marshall April 27, 2023
Goals and Status Goals Update and compare contamination models Generate a white paper on mitigation and analysis Updates since WG meeting of Nov. 2021 Chandra ACIS (H. Marshall, A. Bogdan) contamination is still growing model was updated in late 2022 the model is still good! No progress on white paper after WG meeting Herman L.

What ChatGPT can do Response to Vinay s prompt: A chorus about Chandra Optics" With mirrors coated oh so fine Chandra's optics capture every line X-rays focussed with unparalleled care Revealing details beyond compare Herman L. Marshall IACHEC Contamination WG Summary 4/27/23 /3 4
What Humans can do! A Few of our Favorite Things While Insight and Swift, eROSITA exposing, World-wide scientists; all are proposing. At low E there's NICER with count rates galore, Use NuSTAR if high E you want to explore. ChatGPT, Herman Marshall, and Bev LaMarr (apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein) Polishing mirrors was done so precisely Chandra finds sources so very concisely. X-rays are focused with unparalled care Finding fine details beyond all compare. With XMM, IXPE, and Integral flying, These are the good times for us -- no denying. Athena and XRISM are part of our hopes, These will be two of our favorite scopes! Trap maps and gain curves and in-flight cal sources, Cross-calibration and statistics courses, New background models in processing strings, These are a few of our favorite things! SNRs, nebulae, all matched with Hubble, A galaxy cluster with inflated bubble; Praises for X-rays now everyone sings, These are a few of our favorite things! When the sun flares, when the gain drifts when the temps get hot; You simply remember your favorite things and then you can fix your plot! When the source fades, if high background, when your fit is bad; You simply remember your favorite things And then you don't feel so sad. Herman L. Marshall IACHEC Contamination WG Summary 4/27/23 /3 5
