1 Vadim Burwitz EPIC CAL/OPS, MPE May 4, 2006 RX J1856 HZ 43Sirius B Cross-calibration results from observations of the INS RX J1856, and the WDs HZ 43 and Sirius B Vadim Burwitz EPIC CAL/OPS May 4-5 2006, MPE

2 Vadim Burwitz EPIC CAL/OPS, MPE May 4, 2006 Overview  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 by Frank Haberl)
