Question (質問)

I would like to know if the HXD-GSO latest responses ae_hxd_gsohxnom_20080129.rsp and ae_hxd_gsoxinom_20080129.rsp have to be used with the arf files ae_hxd_gsohxnom_crab_20070502.arf and ae_hxd_gsoxinom_crab_20070502.arf (as recommended at http://www.astro.isas.jaxa.jp/suzaku/analysis/hxd/gsoarf/ which is however a bit old) or if the responses already include the correction factor and thus can be used without the arf files.

Answer from(回答の文責)

HXD team

Answer (答え)

1. The HXD-GSO latest responses ae_hxd_gso[hx,xi]nom_20080129.rsp have to be used with the arf files ae_hxd_gso[hx,xi]nom_crab_20070502.arf. The HXD will update the Web page to point the latest GSO rsp files.

2. But please be aware that the "correction ARF" files are generated so that a Crab spectrum can be fit with a resonable photon index. It does not mean it is guaranteed for other spectral shapes.
