Spatial Analysis

This chapter deals with analyzing source positions and spatial structure and with image calibration. Depending on the specific scientific task, the user may wish to block or section the input data file for convenience (See also Display). See Table 6.1 for the dimensions of ROSAT and Einstein images:
