  1. Report on three NRCO calibration observations • On axis observation of absorbed Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7172: Calibrating the redistribution “shelf” • Off-axis observation of Seyfert 1 galaxy REJ2248-511: Checking the broad band MOS v PN qe off-axis • Off-axis observations of INS RXJ 1856: Calibrating the extent of the “patch”

  2. Report on three NRCO calibration observations • On axis observation of absorbed Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7172: Calibrating the redistribution “shelf” • Off-axis observation of Seyfert 1 galaxy REJ2248-511: Checking the broad band MOS v PN qe off-axis • Off-axis observations of INS RXJ 1856: Calibrating the extent of the “patch”

  3. NGC7172: Previous Observations: Revs 0539, 0902 Thin Filter Hard component: NH ~ 1.1 x 1023 cm-2 0.1-1.0 keV PN M1

  4. PN, Revs 0539, 0902, 1350: Thin Filter Factor ~2-2.5 increase in hard flux, no increase in soft flux

  5. 0.2-0.9 keV Flux: ergs 10-14 cm-2 s-1

  6. 2.0-10.0 keV Flux: ergs 10-11 cm-2 s-1

  21. Summary • Redistribution shelf in qualitative agreement with Seyfert 2 soft X-ray scattering model. • Off-axis broad band X-cal between PN and MOS in agreement with On-axis results, except for soft band in MOS1 RMF Effect ? • On-axis MOS1 patch still expanding • On-axis MOS2 patch looks to be stable
