X-ray Mission Cross Calibration
Comparison of XMM-Newton EPIC, Chandra ACIS-S3, ASCA SIS and GIS,
and ROSAT PSPC results for G21.5-0.9, 1ES0102-72.3, and MS1054.4-0321
A ôMan on the streetö view of the current status of the cross calibration.
? Publicly available software (SAS 5.2, mostly CIAO 2.1) and current calibration data bases (well almost)
? Will not address ôTruthö but ôBeautyö is a relative concept
