Spectral Recalibration Plans

MPE has used the PANTER facility to perform a number of recalibration experiments of the PSPC using the engineering model. Data have been collected to examine both the rate-gain effect and the residual systematics in the spectral calibration, i.e., at/over:

  1. high count rates to examine the rate-gain effect,
  2. four gain states in order to investigate the amplitude and systematics of all gain-dependent effects,
  3. an energy range extended from the original pre-launch calibrations to better determine energy dependent effects.
