Calibration Workshop - 2001
Calibration Session WA2 (Tue, 14:15 -- 18:30), Newton
Ad interim until the proceedings are published we offer here a selection of the calibration papers presented at the New Visions of the X-ray Universe conference. They describe the current best state of knowledge of the instrument calibration. It should be emphasised that not all features described are yet fully accounted for in the public version of SAS.Clicking on each hyperlink will take you to either a PostScript of PDF version of the viewgraphs that were presented at the conference. Please also check out the associated links at the SAS Workshop which contains some important information about calibration files (CCF's), and the usage within the SAS, release policies etc..
With many thanks to the participants below who provided their inputs in a timely fashion, AND OF COURSE PERFORMED ALL THE HARD WORK
