Spectrum Analyzing X-ray Data Image (FITS) Using Ds9 Program

Abstract

In this study, data or X-ray images Fixable Image Transport System (FITS) of objects were analyzed, where energy was collected from the body by several sensors; each sensor receives energy within a specific range, and when energy was collected from all sensors, the image was formed carrying information about that body. The images can be transferred and stored easily. The images were analyzed using the DS9 program to obtain a spectrum for each object, an energy corresponding to the photons collected per second. This study analyzed images for two types of objects (globular and open clusters). The results showed that the five open star clusters contain roughly the same materials. The clusters are composed of Carbon, Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Nickel, and Germanium, while globular clusters contain the same elements but differ from the elements in the other type in terms of type and abundance. The three stars cluster contains roughly the same material, Carbon, Silicon, Phosphorus, Nickel, and Germanium, except for a small percentage of Neon that appears in the NGC 6121 stars cluster.
