FEF: FITS Embedded Function


A new Chandra format for encoding functional forms in FITS files. Currently these are used to compactly describe the ACIS RMF. Standard RMF files are then generated from these using the mkrmf tool. The FEF format is quite general and can be used to store any function in a computer-retrievable format.
