What UV sensitivity does the HRI have?

(11/10/92)


The HRI is sensitive to UV of about 1600A wavelength. The sensitivity is nearly completely contained within the first few channels (about 50 percent in channels 1 and 2, and about 90 percent within channels 1-4). This sensitivity will be a problem for any soft x-ray sources.
