EntranceFilter#

class xrtpy.response.EntranceFilter(index)[source]#

Bases: object

Represents the entrance filter of the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on the Hinode spacecraft.

The entrance filter covers the annular entrance aperture of the XRT, serving to reduce both visible light and heat load entering the instrument.

Parameters:

index (int) – The index of the channel within the GENX file that contains data specific to this filter.

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_density#

Type:

astropy.units.Quantity

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_material#

The material composition of the entrance filter.

Type:

str

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_mesh_transmission#

The percentage transmission of the mesh part of the filter.

Type:

float

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_name#

The descriptive name of the entrance filter.

Type:

str

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_substrate#

The substrate material of the entrance filter.

Type:

str

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_thickness#

The thickness of the entrance filter material measured in Angstroms.

Type:

astropy.units.Quantity

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_transmission#

The transmission efficiency of the entrance filter across different wavelengths.

Type:

numpy.ndarray

Channel.EntranceFilter.entrancefilter_wavelength#
