7 Overview of the RSRF curves

 figure45
Figure 4: The RSRF for band 1A based on a measurement of HR7001 (black) versus the RSRF as measured in the lab (grey) The fringes in the in-orbit-RSRF are real.

 figure49
Figure 5: The RSRF for band 1A based on a measurement of HR7001 (black) and the lab RSRF corrected to the overall shape of the in-orbit RSRF. Note that not every feature that was seen in the lab has been seen in orbit. Especially the differences in the 2.35 - 2.40 region are relatively large. Similar features seen in SWS spectra might be not real.

 figure53
Figure 6: The RSRF for band 1b based on a measurement of HR7001 versus the lab RSRF (grey). The fringes in the in-orbit-RSRF are real.

 figure57
Figure 7: The RSRF for band 1d based on a measurement of HR7001 versus the lab RSRF (grey) The fringes in the in-orbit-RSRF are real.

 figure61
Figure 8: The RSRF for band 1e based on a measurement of HR7001 versus the lab RSRF (grey) The fringes in the in-orbit-RSRF are real.

 figure65
Figure 9: The RSRF for band 2a based on a measurement of HR7001 versus the lab RSRF (grey) The fringes in the in-orbit-RSRF are real.

 figure69
Figure 10: The RSRF for band 2A based on a measurement of HR7001 (black) and the lab RSRF corrected to the overall shape of the in-orbit RSRF.

 figure73
Figure 11: The RSRF for band 2b based on a measurement of HR7001 versus the lab RSRF (grey). Also in this band the lab measurements seem to show leakage. Attempts to correct the overall shape did not survive cross-checks with other calibration sources yet.

 figure77
Figure 12: The RSRF for band 2c based on an AOT1 speed 4 measurement of HR5340 (black) versus the lab RSRF (grey). The CUS observation on HR7001 for ap3 has not been done yet. The small features between 7 and 8 microns and around 10 microns can introduce misleading features after incorrect dark. The increase in response beyond 12 microns has been seen in other sources too.

 figure81
Figure 13: The RSRF for band 3a based on a measurement of NML-CYG versus the lab RSRF (grey). Good match, even on fringe level. The fringes are a little 'sharper' in the in-orbit RSRF because of the limited resolution of the lab measurements. Wrong dark subtraction will produce a lot of junk.

 figure85
Figure 14: The RSRF for band 3c based on a measurement of NML-CYG versus the lab RSRF (grey). Good match, even on fringe level. The fringes are a little 'sharper' in the in-orbit RSRF because of the limited resolution of the lab measurements. Wrong dark subtraction will produce a lot of junk.

 figure89
Figure 15: The RSRF for band 3d based on a measurement of NML-CYG versus the lab RSRF (grey). Good match, even on fringe level. The fringes are a little 'sharper' in the in-orbit RSRF because of the limited resolution of the lab measurements. Wrong dark subtraction will produce a lot of junk.

 figure93
Figure 16: The RSRF for band 3e based on a measurement of NML-CYG versus the lab RSRF (grey). Good match, even on fringe level. Wrong dark subtraction will produce beautiful fringes.

 figure97
Figure 18: The RSRF for band 4 based on a measurement of NML-CYG versus the lab RSRF (grey). Since the model of NML-CYG is only within 30% accurate, it is not clear if the in-orbit RSRF is really different from the lab RSRF.
