Became pressing issue when 1XMM catalogue showed a distinct excess of weak sources in MOS 2 emevents 7.10 marks flickering pixels and event clusters in nearby frames (cosmic rays). New parameters : rejectflickering, tolfxy J. Ballet 24/09/03 MOS flickering pixels

MOS flickering pixels (I) Find peaks in RAWX, RAWY, FRAME using a sliding box algorithm Box size: 5 x 2 x 2 ( FRAME x RAWX x RAWY ) MOS 2, CCD 1

MOS flickering pixels (II) Once a peak is found, accrete neighbouring events as long as their density exceeds the average density Guard against variable sources by flagging only when the spatial distribution is incompatible with the PSF (too narrow, or too elongated) Flickering occurrence lasts 10 frames on average, sometimes up to 20

MOS flickering pixels (III) Peak around 4 keV (same in CCDs 4 and 6) Most flickering events are at low energy, but rather broad peak MOS 2, CCD 1

MOS flickering pixels (IV) The histogram of events per pixel had a peak near 10 events (after embadpixfind) That peak is significantly reduced after applying the flickering detection MOS 2, CCD 1

MOS flickering pixels (V) MOS 2 MOS 1 None Percentage of flickering events CCDNR%

MOS flickering pixels (VI) MOS 2, CCD 1 relatively uniform distribution All CAL/PV data (plus a few others) No excess at centre (where the sources are)

MOS flickering pixels (VII) The secondary peaks at 20 and 30 are due to chance coincidences (5% of pixels > 3) Apart from a few truly bright pixels, the flickering pixels seem to occur randomly over the CCDs All CAL/PV data (plus a few others)
