Which band?Which band?• Testing spectral calibration with thermal
spectra is somewhat different than with power-laws.
• For high T (kT > 4keV) the scientific valuable information is all in the hard band, however for EPIC and many other X-ray experiments most of the statistics is in the softer band.
• Performing spectral fits using a cumulative statistics such as χ2 on a broad band will put lots of weight on the insensitive soft part of the spectrum and relatively less on the hard scientifically important part.

Which band?Which band?Two possible points of viewObserver: forget the soft band, it
only cmplicates things!Calibrator: if I can get the right
temperature fitting the broad band than my calibration must really be good!

Summary Summary MOS vs pn MOS vs pn
1. For hard bands reasonable agreement btwn all instruments.
2. Broad band MOS and PN are clearly discrepant

Summary Summary
1. T drops as you include softer parts of the spectrum (at least part of this is not due to calibration)
2. the Pn temperatures vary considerably more than the MOS T
3. Bigest problem is 20% pn variation when going from 1.5-10 keV to 0.5-10 keV

Summary Summary 1. In the hard bands we have
reasonable agreement btwn instruments, better than 10%
2. In the soft band there is a large discrepancy btwn. MOS and pn, the fact that pn in 1.5-10 keV and pn in 0.5-10 keV show a similar discrepancy indicates that the problem is a pn rather than a MOS problem.
3. Pn changes in SAS 6.1 solve only part of the problem
