To clarify some of the columns:
  • Type: Broad astrophysical object category T-Tauri Star, X-ray binary etc
  • Best Purpose: what can be calibrated with it (e.g. fluxes, line response shape, relative sensitivities, absolute uncertainties, very good in Fe lines, etc)
  • Waveband: Best waveband for calibration
  • Issues: Any problems or items of note in the spectrum (e.g. is a binary so line centroids vary; has no Fe lines; spectrum  varies)
  • X-ray flux: hopefully self explanatory. Just a rough estimate is fine.
  • Restrictions: Any issues with potentially scheduling the observation - variable source etc.
  • Missions Used By: if the object has (or is scheduled to be) used by other missions as a semi-regularly observed cal source, list them here.
  • Other notes: anything else
