1 Vadim Burwitz EPIC Calibration Meeting, October 27, 2006 RX J1856 HZ 43Sirius B Further work on cross-calibration results obtained from observations of the INS RX J1856, and the WDs HZ 43 and Sirius B Vadim Burwitz EPIC Calibration Meeting October 2006, Mallorca

2 Vadim Burwitz EPIC Calibration Meeting, October 27, 2006 Overview  Paper on this topic published in 2006 A&A 458, 541  Absolute Calibration Soft X-rays  dependant on model spectra of WDs what models to use?, uncertainties?  Analyse LETG + HRC-S data HZ 43A, Sirius B and RX J1856.5-3754  determine spectral parameters  improve effective area.  Compare obtained photon spectra with EUVE and ROSAT and XMM (work together with Frank Haberl)

3 Vadim Burwitz EPIC Calibration Meeting, October 27, 2006 Establishing HZ43 A, Sirius B, and RX J185635-3754 as soft X-ray standards: a cross-calibration between the Chandra LETG+HRC-S, the EUVE spectrometer, and the ROSAT PSPC K. Beuermann, V. Burwitz and T. Rauch The Paper published: 2006 A&A 458, 541
