Scientific paper

The GHRS has an ongoing absolute sensitivity monitoring program that now has a total baseline of over 1.5 years. The 2.0 arcsec LSA is used to observe a standard star every few months at five wavelengths: 1200A, 1500A, 2000A, 2500A, and 3000A. A trend analysis is consistent with long-term stability at all wavelengths. In particular the far UV (1200A) sensitivity relative to the near UV (mean of 2500A and 3000A measures) does not show any significant trend with time. The GHRS data suggests that the OTA far UV response is not degrading with time; independent measurements on two different stars yield formal trends of -2.8% per year and +0.7% per year for the far to near UV response.
