Notes. The top panel lists the best-fit parameters of the background model and the bottom panel shows the parameters of the source models (details are in Sect. 3.1.2). Errors are given at the 90% confidence level. We required the emission measures of the vpshock and vsedov models to be in the 99% CL range of EM obtained with the vapec model (see Sect. 3.1.3), and this gave us the range of errors for kT and τ of the vpshock and vsedov models. The χ2 and associated degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) are also listed.

(a)

Fixed parameter (see text for details).

(b)

Emission measure .

(c)

Γi and Ai are the spectral indices and normalisations of the power-law component i, where i is either the X-ray background (XRB) or soft proton contamination (SPC). Ai are given in photons keV-1 cm-2 s-1 at 1 keV.
