Abstract
We present a new filtering method based on wavelet analysis. This meth od works without any assumption about the noise, and we show that it g ives reliable results on X-ray spectroscopic data. The originality of this method consist in the wavelet analysis: the filtering is done bot h in frequency space and in the spatial space, thus avoiding artifacts due to fourier filtering. We also show the reliability of the method using test signals. All the software developed following this method i s freely available on the network.
