How to derive the energy conversion factor (ECF) of an extended source ?

Hello everyone:
Is eSASS capable of doing this? I am curious about how to get the ECF, are there any journal articles or documents for reference?

Hi,
No, eSASS is not capable of doing this. You can use XSPEC for such tasks.
Best wishes,
Miriam

Following up on this question, what ARF/RMF file should we use if we want a "general" ECF for some assumptions but not for specific sources? Like the values given in Table D.1 of Brunner+2022? It looks like eSASS can only extract those files for a specific region?
Thank you very much!
