Thin foils such as the PSPC entrance window can be UV
transmitting despite the lexan coating; the
UV transmission is concentrated in a relatively small spectral range
around 1700 Å where the mass absorption coefficient of polypropylene
has a local minimum. During the ROSAT calibration phase, the A-type
stars Leo and
Car were observed and not detected.
