In-Flight Calibration Plans for Astro-H
Abstract
We present a preliminary list of candidate sources that will be used as performance verification targets for the four instruments on the Astro-H observatory, slated for launch in November 2015. Target viability is being assessed with spectral simulations in order to determine the optimal exposure time necessary to achieve the uncertainty requirement and goal on each parameter of interest.
