Calibration of AIA/SDO: Accessing and implementing the response functions
Abstract
The initial photometric calibration of AIA, based on preflight measurements of the response of the telescope components, is complete. The estimated accuracy is of order 25%, which is consistent with the results of comparisons with full-disk irradiance measurements and spectral models. We describe the process of accessing the wavelength response (effective area) functions, and of generating temperature response functions using a model of the spectral emissivity.
