M31 variable-W1 MOS annuli · technical visual QA

validated product snapshot

五个相邻 annuli，十套 MOS spectra

谱图均来自 xsherpa.inspect.SpectrumInspector 的无拟合 inspection。每个 annulus 保留 MOS1/MOS2 的独立 response 和 QPB；页面中的 XMM images 用于 spatial QA，不作 exposure-corrected 或 band-defined flux image。

解释边界：stored spectra span 0.3–7.2 keV；未来 MOS fitting 必须 exclude 1.4–2.0 keV。当前 obj-image-sky.fits 未带 PIMIN/PIMAX，所以图像仅检查 region/mask registration。

空间 QA reference：紫色为 a=16–20′，灰色虚线为另外四个 report annuli。各 region card 下方的 image 会单独 highlight 对应 annulus，并使用该 extraction 的 camera-specific mask files。

E015 · local data readiness

a=0–40′：本机 XMM footprint coverage

每个 circle 是 verified observation pointing 的 15′ spherical FoV：local ATTTSR median 优先，其次 same-OBSID local processed-FITS RA_PNT/DEC_PNT，最后才是 XSA ra/dec。cyan/pink contours 是实际 120-vertex variable-W1 FK5 annuli。WISE W1 仅为原始 FITS 的 WCS-reprojected display，不是 X-ray exposure map。

Map inventory：187 root-directory rows contain 183 local directories (4 duplicate cross-root rows). All have verified coordinates: 72 ATTTSR, 103 local FITS, and 8 XSA. The map draws 111 within 90′ as complete 15′ circles. Of these, 76 intersect exact a≤40′ geometry; 35 do not (3 green clean-seed, 32 orange coordinate-only). The 76 intersecting fields separate 41 raw-ODF-ready from 35 coordinate-only records.

Geometry versus extraction gate：76 provenance-resolved local pointings provide 100.000% nominal 15′-FoV union in every serialized a=0–40′ annulus. This establishes disk geometry, not immediately extractable spectra: only 41 intersecting fields retain dual-MOS raw ODF and only OBSID 0112570101 has a direct dual-MOS clean seed. The other 35 must undergo retained-product audit and, where required, ODF/clean-event restoration before custom-region extraction. No column below includes CCD gaps, GTI, source masks, vignetting, or exposure; none is BACKSCAL / surface-brightness area.

Solid circles intersect a≤40′: green = direct clean seed, blue = retained dual-MOS raw ODF, purple = coordinate-resolved but no verified reduction seed. Dashed circles are nearby non-intersecting records. This is a local-data planning/provenance product, not a spectral fit or physical measurement.

DS9 geometry 直接解析：中心 region 为 120-vertex include polygon；外环为 120-vertex outer minus 120-vertex inner polygon。
MOS coadd 前要求 image shape 及完整 WCS 精确一致；point masks 要求 MOS1=92、MOS2=90 个 !CIRCLE rows。

尚未完成

未建立 astrophysical sky background model；QPB 不能替代 LHB/MW halo/CXB 等成分。
未拟合 thermal model，因此不报告 temperature、metallicity、flux 或 radial trend。
一条 central pointing 不构成完整 0–40′ radial program，也不支持 morphology/physical-origin claim。
下一科学步骤是定义 sky-background + fitting scope，再评估是否可解释 0.6–0.8 keV emission。
