... The derivation of the reference multiplet is carried out in one of two basic styles: an `internal' style in which a kind of average multiplet is calculated from the values in the image themselves, without reference to any other information, or a `black body' (bb) style in which the reference multiplet is calculated using the widths of the energy bands (in the case of EPIC images) or the filter bandpasses (in the case of the OM). ...
