The on-orbit HRMA on-axis effective area predictions are generated from raytracing models and scaled by the HRMA calibration data taken at the XRCF. This is the current best prediction for the HRMA Aeff, which has already been included in the Chandra Proposer's Observatory Guide.
The CALDB contains the official effective area tables
