Workshop CAL TARGETS - What do we aim for in this session? -Cal targets highly depend on he mission. Some targets can be fine for XMM or Chandra, but RXTE or INTEGRAL can not see them. - Also depend on scientific subjects: imaging, timing, energy range,... - Sources with simple physics, because we have to understand what the sources do. - Clusters of galaxies: extended, illuminate large area of the detector, but show spatial structures with spectral differences. - How to connect low energy targets/missions to high energy ones? Problem of different time scales for exposures, e.g. ksec versus Msec. Simultaneous observations are needed. - How to calibrate the energy scale for higher energies of future gratings? Difficult to find astronomical targets with well defined lines. On-board calibration sources or defined fluorescence lines from detector structure or even moveable metal plates could help, (e.g. see copper line for XMM pn).
