HRMA On Axis Effective Area

Status

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 A_eff, which has already been included in the Chandra Proposer's Observatory Guide.
