Subject: Response of the HRC to Vega

Date: October 28, 2002

 

The results of all the Vega calibration measurements through February, 2002 are presented in the table below.

 

I reanalyzed all the early observations, since they were reprocessed.

 

Boldfaced numbers are observed count rates in counts per second.

 

The count rates are remarkably constant in time, for the same location on a segment (chip).
