Understand

Aims: Imaging and spectroscopy of X-ray extended sources require a proper characterisation of a spatially unresolved background signal.

This background includes sky and instrumental components, each of which are characterised by its proper spatial and spectral behaviour.
While the X-ray sky background has been extensively studied in previous work, here we analyse and model the instrumental background of the ACIS-I detector on-board the Chandra X-ray observatory in very faint mode.
Methods: Caused by interaction of highly energetic particles with the detector, the ACIS-I instrumental background is spectrally characterised by the superposition of several fluorescence emission lines onto a continuum.
