Caveats: XMMChandra Comparison (HETGS side)
·

Variability: affects one observation of PKS 2155304 (but not 1H 1426+428 and 3C 273) Different models used by ESAC and CXC
· ·

·

broken PL vs. smooth PL HETGS fits without 2PL

· · ·

Residuals: compare for complete story Bowtie: models extrapolated to low SNR Have not achieved

·

Joint web page population · Coordinate modeling between projects · Process all Chandra cal data uniformly · Will add analysis of 1E 010272 Developing joint analysis methodology · Primary goals may not be achievable soon · Must define secondary goals Setting up crosscal with XMM and Suzaku · Target: PKS 2155304 · This week · Will use LETG/HRC Chandra grating observations of PKS 2155 · Aug `06 -- independent of XMM, Suzaku · To be used for Chandra internal crosscal
