HRC PSF Data Products

02/24/99 - by D. Pease - v1

We summarize on the following pages the current Analysis of the HRC Point Spread Function from the XRCF data. The PSF data set consists of all specified PSF tests, Effective Area measurements at off-axis angles greater than 8.0 arcmin (performed in focus), and the Count Rate Linearity tests for comparison to non-dithered data. We have calculated the FWHM and Encircled Energy of the PSF. Some details can be found in the HRC PSF Analysis Software section.

The data were processed with Version 1 of the Degap Parameters.
