Introduction

A general outline that covers the steps necessary to fit a RHESSI Spectra, starting with the creation of the RHESSI Spectrum file and going through the process of defining background, time intervals, and fitting models to the data using OSPEX.

Create a spectrum file using the HESSI GUI

Starting with the level zero RHESSI data this document goes through the steps necessary to create a spectrum file using the HESSI GUI:

Creating a spectrum file with the HESSI GUI

This includes the details of creating a file for a single detector using the GUI as well as simple command line instructions for accomplishing the same. The end result is a spectrum and spectrum response matrix (SRM) file in the .fits format which can be read by OSPEX.

Fitting a time interval using the OSPEX GUI

The following document gives a step by step example of using the OSPEX GUI to fit a time interval:
