Subject: E2E 20050609 Shift-B Science Report.


During the transition from Shift-A to Shift-B, we evaluated the Wing 
PSF data to determine if sufficient data had been taken to characterize 
the PSF wings. Analysis by both Science teams, with support from the 
J-side, indicated that taking more long exposures would give vanishing 
returns. We took ten 8x8 binned, and ten high-resolution, unsaturated 
images to sample the PSF core soon after finishing the wing exposures. 
The combined data may be used to completely fit the PSF.

We then proceeded with section 14 Focal Plane Transmissions.
The throughput of the filters was measured relative to the open/open
configuration.This was done for Al-K, C-K, O-K,and Mo-L X-ray sources
(sections 14.1 to 14.4).

Completed sec. 14.1  Al-K Source
Completed sec. 14.2  C-K  Source
Completed sec. 14.3  O-K  Source
Began sec. 14.4 Mo-L Source --Changed source to Mo-L and completed to
sec. 14.4.4-11

A table of the peak transmission rates for the completed source sets has 
been placed on the Analysis webpage.
