Science Enhancement Package Response Matrices
Several of the responders to the Request for Information on Science Enhancement Packages (SEP) have submitted data and/or response matrices to the project so that scientists may perform simulations.
The order of listing is alphabetical by the SEP submitting first author.
Soft Energy SEP Response Matrices
- Flanagan (MIT) - Transmission Grating Spectrometer

- CX_0.arf, XMS_1.rmf: effective area, response matrix pair for direct photons on grating sub-apertured telescope. The efficiency is the sum of the zero order segments and the open segments.
- CX_0.arf, XMS_1.rmf
- CX.arf, XMS_1.rmf: effective area, response matrix pair for a single, no-grating telescope.
- CX.arf, XMS_1.rmf
- CX_n.garf, Ln.grmf: grating effective area, response matrix pair for order n, Lorentzian LSF.
