The earliest Crab spectral data are PI data (Trümper).
These now reside in the ROSAT archive (sequence 500065F is
a boron filter observation of the Crab).
Boron filter observations of HZ 43 (100113F); N132D (100130F);
AR Lac (100588F), and other sources are important to spectral
studies are in the archive as well.
Observations of constant X-ray sources such as white dwarves
(HZ 43 and Meaty) and SNR (N132D) allow the project to monitor
variations in the response of the detector.
Calibration observations such as these are combined with
calibration line data from the on-board Al K 
calibration
source are used in the spectral calibration.

channel conversion, see
