Filters for ASM quick-look data:

  1. Reduced chi-square of the fit <1.5, except for Sco X-1 <8.0
  2. Number of sources in the field of view <16
  3. Earth angle >75 degrees
  4. Exposure time >30 seconds
  5. Long-axis angle theta: -43< theta <46 degrees
  6. Short-axis angle phi: -4.8< phi <4.8 degrees
For the last two items, note that the full SSC field of view is 110 degrees (theta) by 12 degrees (phi).
 
The Power Spectrum ASCII data file contains two columns:
  1. Frequency (in 1/hours)
  2. Power/<Power> for that frequency
Power density spectra are created by averaging the light curves into 0.05 day (1 hour 12 min) bins, subtracting the mean value of all inhabited bins from each inhabited bin, and taking an FFT. The resulting power in each frequency bin is divided by the average power over the whole frequency range. Note that the frequency is plotted in inverse hours.
