Scientific paper

Calibration Observation - The Coma cluster of galaxies is an extended, nearly isothermal (kT = 8 keV) source of X-rays. The extent of the Coma cluster is sufficient to completely cover all 4 detectors when observed on-axis. This source will be observed periodically by all 4 focal plane instruments throughout the AXAF mission to monitor any temperoal variations in the characteristics of the detectors. This observation is the first such measurement and needs to be carried out shortly after launch to establish a fiducial point from which subsequent observations will be compared.
