Scientific paper

The Hinode X-ray Telescope provides unprecedented observations of the solar corona in X-rays, due in part to its fine resolution. The X-ray point spread function (PSF) was measured before launch at the NASA X-ray Calibration Facility to have a FWHM of 0.8''. This paper describes the work to verify the PSF measurements using on-orbit observations of planetary transits and solar eclipses. Analysis of a Mercury transit gives a PSF FWHM = 1.0" ± 0.12".
