Generation from In-Orbit Data

The degradation correction coefficients have been calculated by a linear fitting to the measured counts (coincidence loss corrected) of the stars BPM 16274, Hz 2 and GD 153 observed periodically since the beginning of the mission. The fit is done for each filter as a function of the MJD of observation, using the data of all stars. These stars are observed once per year (BPM 16274 twice) to monitor the variation of sensitivity.
