These ARFs are generated using a "macroscopic" method where the ARF are
obtained by using the characteristics of well know astrophysical sources.
These ARFs were modelled using the Crab data taken with the Photodiode
and Windowed Timing modes and the rmf matries v7.0

These ARFs are generated using the physical method where mirror effective
area (obtained with the gold Owens coefficients), filter transmission
as well as on-axis vignetting and Point Spread functions correction
are considered.

First version of the ARF based on calibration observations.
The ARFs are generated using a "macroscopic" method where the ARF are
obtained by using the characteristics of well know astrophysical sources.
These ARFs were modelled using the Crab data taken with the Photodiode
mode and the rmf matries v6.0

The ARFs for the Photon Counting and Windowed Timing modes were derived
from the Photodiode ARFs.
