Gain Notes for Revolution 2696 Another revolution where the TOO observation of Swift J1727.8-1613 at the end of the revolution. Since the Xe line used to verify the gain determination is swamped by the strong BHC signal at BTI has to be declared here to cover this observation. The BTI is from 8685.45 to 8686.5 IJD GainModel = 4 for this revolution, but the results show no direct gain dependence on countrate and the model contributes nothing to the gain smoothing. This is one of the later revolutions in the mission where the calibration sources have become so weak that for the best energy determination an IC Gain History table is needed. These gain history tables are found automatically by OSA, or can be downloaded from the DTU FTP site. All offline gain/energy corrections (including the IC tables) are based on the two Fe calibration sources in JEM-X1, for both units, then corrected iteratively using the instrument background lines (Xe, backed up by Cu and Mo). Latest OSA software (version 10 and higher) automatically cuts out the first Science windows of data from each revolution to ensure that people do not use data from the instrument-settling period. This process can be overruled, but only by experienced users. JEM-X1 rating: Very good (within about 3% of ideal, except for settling zone) JEM-X2 rating: Excellent (within 2% of ideal, except for settling zone, and one outlier) The JEM-X2 corrections are based on the JEM-X1 Fe calibration sources, since all the Cd sources are now too weak to use.
