Scientific paper

The XRS instrument on board ASTRO-E is expected to last about two years, before it runs out of cryogen. This leads us to place a particular emphasis on the technical aspects of the observing proposals to maximize the scientific return, more so than for missions/instruments with longer life times. In this talk, we will introduce the tools that we provide for you to write technically sound ASTRO-E XRS proposals. They include PIMMS/W3pimms and xspec/WebSpec for exposure time calculation, simaste for more detailed simulations (particularly of extended sources), and Wasabi, the Web-based observation visualization tool.
