ROSAT PSPC的软X射线飞行中校准

Soft X-ray in-flight calibration of the ROSAT PSPC

K. Beuermann

摘要:

利用热白矮星HZ 43和极区AM Her的入射光谱对ROSAT PSPC进行了空中定标,并利用HZ 43的精确软X射线谱导出了PSPC的绝对通量定标。PSPC响应矩阵的校正是从HZ 43的预测和观察到的PSPC光谱的比较,补充AM Her的结果。发现对于光子能量E < 0.28 keV的PSPC的校准是准确的,优于5%,驳斥了先前的报告的一个主要的误校准。我们的校正检测器响应矩阵删除系统的残差脉冲高度谱的软源。

英文摘要:

We present an in-flight calibration of the ROSAT PSPC using the incident spectra of the hot white dwarf HZ43 and the polar AM Her. We derive an absolute flux calibration of the PSPC using the accurately known soft X-ray spectrum of HZ43. Corrections to the PSPC response matrix are derived from a comparison of predicted and observed PSPC spectra of HZ43, supplemented by results for AM Her. The calibration of the PSPC for photon energies E < 0.28 keV is found to be accurate to better than 5% refuting earlier reports of a major miscalibration. Our corrections to the detector response matrices remove systematic residuals in the pulse height spectra of soft sources.
