Regions

Regions in ds9 serve multiple purposes. Some are purely decorative such as the Text and Compass. Some are functional such as Projection, and some represent multiple analysis regions such as Annulus and Panda

Panda = Pie AND Annulus

In this section we demonstrate a few of these

  • Decorations
  • Plot3D
  • Statistics
  • Projection

Remember, to create and manipulate regions, be sure you are in Edit -> Region mode.

Data

This data has been heavily processed to remove the point sources embedded in the extended emission. The basic steps replicate the An image of Diffuse Emission thread.

The processing starts with cluster Abell401, OBS_ID 14024
