$\fbox{Status}$

SUPERSEDED (see Section 2.2.2)

$\fbox{Summary of File}$

Pre-flight XRT (only) on-axis effective area produced by Hisamitsu Awaki from his ray-tracing simulations, and reformatted by Chales Day.

$\fbox{Delivered to CALDB by:}$

Charles Day (NASA/GSFC ASCA GOF) 1993 Jan 01.

$\fbox{File Format}$

Close to HDUDOC/VERS = CAL/GEN/92-019/1.0.0
(see CAL/GEN/92-019, available on-line as postscript and html versions), but needs a number of keyword values to be altered.

$\fbox{Input Datasets, Assumptions, {\it etc}}$

The ray-tracing code was tuned to match optical constant, and to match ground calibration data (WSMR) on Au edges.

No further information available.

$\fbox{Points to Note}$

Similar (but vastly larger) datasets listed in Sections 2.2.2 & 2.2.3.
This dataset is assumed to be out-of-date
