Titolo: A prototype Palermo- Wavelet Detection Code for the
ATHENA WFI: investigating the effect on detection of telescope (or lack of) baffle
and other new challenges posed by very deep exposures of a large area telescope
Abstract:
I will discuss the motivations for and the initial results of a prototype
version of the so-called Pwedetect code for the Athena WFI. I will discuss the
use of this prototype for assessing the effect of stray-light in the detection
of weak sources with Athena and results from an on-going extensive set of
simulations that have already pinpoint some of the new challenges that the WFI
poses with respect to the past and current generation of X-ray imaging detectors.
