Making RSRF Files

An RSRF is a Relative Spectral Response Function. It is used to calibrate IRS "droopres" type data. It is recommended that those unfamiliar with reducing IRS data do not use "droopres" data and RSRF files. Instead use "bcd" type data which does not require RSRF calibration. Only use RSRF type calibration once you fully understand why you are using it.

Installing an RSRF File into SMART

RSRF files are added to SMART in exactly the same way as any other user suppied "e" (extra) calibration files. See User Supplied Calibration Files.
