j_src_extract_spectra

This script derives JEM-X countrate spectra for all sources found in the current Science Window.

Output is in three data structures: JMXi-SRCL-BSP contains the background spectra at each source location, which have been used to correct the source spectrum itself. Background spectra are stored in PHA II format.

JMXi-SRCL-SPE contains the spectra for each individual found source. Spectra are stored in PHA II format.

JMXi-SRCL-ARF contains ancillary response for each source. The ARFs are stored in the ARF II format. (The ARF is scaled to the total detector area to correspond to the stored spectra. The scaling will probably be changed so that it corresponds to the source illuminated area.)
