Description
We present a simulation framework developed to evaluate the capability of the NewAthena mission, but easily adaptable to other missions as well, to detect and characterize diffuse X-ray emission, focusing on reproducing realistic instrument performance and consolidated X-ray analysis tools.
Synthetic observations were generated starting from map simulations, which were converted into mock X-ray event lists through SIXTE and SIMPUT. Instrumental effects such as vignetting, PSF broadening, detector background, and point source confusion were included using the latest WFI and X-IFU response matrices and calibration files. The simulated data were then processed with tools currently used in the X-ray astronomy.
