Abstract:

The calibration of ISOPHOT observations is hampered in many situations by the transient response of the detectors. Here we outline the behaviour observed in flight for the different ISOPHOT detectors. We also present some of the procedures which are currently used to correct transient effects and their implementation in the ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis.
