HETG-ACIS-S "Chip Gaps"-Update, Oct.'99

Back to HETG TechNotes

Conclusion The new pix_corner_lsi.par file is working well, producing plus-minus agreements in wavelength at or less than 1/2 a pixel. That is

   for MEG:    | Lambda_plus - Lambda_minus | =< 0.0055 A 
and
   for HEG:    | Lambda_plus - Lambda_minus | =< 0.0028 A 
Further, the zero-order offset of about 0.42 pixels, seen between HEG and MEG is not repeatable and for now it is best not to include an HEG-MEG offset in routine wavelength calculation (or use values of 0.0). It is still something to keep in mind, however, when comparing plus and minus wavelengths.
