The Linear Ramp Filters (LRFs) provide a narrow band ( ) imaging capability which is continuously tunable from 3710е to 9762е. These are essentially a collection of narrow band interference filters whose central wavelength varies with position on the filter glass. ... If it is necessary to know which CCD will be used, observers can consult Table 3.7 or Table 3.8 , or use the on-line LRF calculator tool on the WFPC2 WWW pages. ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Soft flare rejection for . The EPIC-pn fast timing mode was designed so that a time resolution of 0.029 milliseconds can be achieved. ... Below this energy the data is affected by so-called soft flares which are caused by stack overflows generated by high energy particles. These so-called soft flares have sharp rise (from 0 counts/sec to several thousand counts/sec in 0.10-0.15 sec) then decaying back 0 counts/sec slightly slower in about 0.3-0.4 sec). ...
