Scientific paper

Wavelength- and flux calibrations are presented for the ACS/HRC PR200L slitless spectroscopy mode. The calibrations were derived from Cycle 13 observations of a QSO at redshift z=0.836 and a planetary nebula in the LMC (for the wavelength calibration) and two white dwarf standards (for the flux calibration), and are made available to users as configuration files for the aXe software package. Both the trace- and wavelength solutions include spatial variations across the HRC detector. The calibrations are derived for observations obtained after Nov 8th, 2004 (the aperture definitions were changed on this date) but an attempt has been made to adapt the calibrations for observations obtained before this date, as well.
