Scientific paper

The HETE Soft X-ray Camera (SXC) uses X-ray CCDs and a micro-fabricated coded aperture mask to image X-ray sources with sub-arcminute accuracy over a steradian field of view. Calibration of imaging with observations of the Crab and Sco X-1 is described. The accuracy of SXC localizations is determined trough observations of known steady and transient galactic X-ray sources and sensitivity to GRBs is estimated through detections of steady and transient Galactic X-ray sources. [NB: As of October 2002, the SXC had localized 4 GRBs to arcminute accuracy].
