The RHESSI software team is happy to announce the formal inclusion of regularized electron flux visibilities within the main branch of the hessi software tree distributed through SSW. This gives a user the capability of making electron flux maps over a series of energies by setting only a minimum of parameters and using any of our visibility imaging methods. It is also possible to use these methods to create photon maps using these electron visibilities which will be more smoothly varying than by making maps in the normal way from single energy bands. As this is within our standard object software these methods are available both from the Command Line and Graphical User Interface (CLI and GUI). These are currently the only imaging methods we use that constrain the map at a single energy by the data at multiple energies.

Please see our "RHESSI Data Analysis Software Change History http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssw/hessi/doc/software/changes/sw_changes" and "Using Visibility Objects in the RHESSI Software http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssw/hessi/doc/image/hsi_visibility_howto.html" for more details.
