Scientific paper

RXTE is an exceptionally well-calibrated mission. Over the 3-25 keV bandpass, power-law models for emission from the Crab nebula reveal deviations of 0.6% or less. The Xe L3 edge at 4.8 keV is sometimes apparent in data, but this is easily modeled with a simple edge. Owing to its calibration and its longevity - over 12 years of operation, RXTE has overlapped with ASCA, BeppoSAX, Chandra, XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, Swift, and Suzaku - RXTE serves as an effective standard against which the spectral response of new missions can be compared.
