The SMC SNR 1E0102.2-7219 as a calibration standard for X-ray astronomy in the 0.3-2.5 keV bandpass

The SMC SNR 1E0102.2-7219 as a calibration standard for X-ray astronomy in the 0.3-2.5 keV bandpass

The flight calibration of the spectral response of CCD instruments below 1.5 keV is difficult in general because of the lack of strong lines in the on-board calibration sources typically available. We have been using E0102, the brightest supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud, to evaluate t...
