Hi,

The patch is available now on the DR1 site.

Cheers,

Miriam

Hello Brandon, evtool cannot only merge event lists, which is what I believe you wanted to do. But there are scientists who do not want to use the event list that we provide, since it has information from the 7 eROSITA telescopes. Some people might want to use only a subset of telescopes, create ima...

Dear Jorge,

Thanks for your message. So, you confirm that eSASS4DR1 works on Ubuntu 24.04.2 with default gcc compilers. We are glad to hear this, so we can update our documentation soon.

Best wishes,
Miriam

By the way, Jorge, one of my colleagues, just pointed out that you are giving the EDR installation webpage in your initial post. I guess you are trying to install eSASS4DR1, not eSASS4EDR, right? If so, please follow the correct instructions: https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/eSASS4DR1/eSASS4DR1_instal...

Hi Brandon, It seems you are trying to merge "source event lists", i.e., the event lists that come in a given source package. However, as explained here: https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/eSASS4DR1/eSASS4DR1_ProductsDescription/products_description_dr1.html#Eighth_Sub_Point_84 , those files m...

Dear Jorge, Thanks a lot for your feedback. We will add this information to the website, so other users do not face the same problem. Dear Brandon, Given your recent post, we assume you have overcome the problem of configuring Healpix? We would like to have your feedback on improving our documentati...

Hi Jorge, In principle, eSASS4DR1 was not tested on Ubuntu 24.04.2, since it did not exist during DR1. And we are not entirely sure if it compiles with GCC v13+, which is the default one in Ubuntu 24.04.2. However, I recently installed eSASS4DR1 in Ubuntu 24.04.2 with gcc version 13.3.0 and encounte...

Hi Alexis,

No, it will not help if you recompile HEADAS with the same version of GCC.

We are working on a patch, but it will take a few more weeks.

Cheers,
Miriam

Dear Brandon, Thanks for your replies. In my previous post, I meant to give the full path to the libcfitsio.a library when configuring Healpix in the external directory. When configuring eSASS, the path you mention for HEADAS is enough. Once you configure Healpix in the external directory, you execu...

Dear Brandon, We strongly advise using and configuring Healpix, which comes with the eSASS4DR1 package. eSASS4DR1 will not work with other versions, i.e., Healpix 3.83 will give you different problems. When giving the path for the libcfitsio.a library, please use the one that comes with your HEASOFT...
