Overview Absolute Calibration Soft Xrays dependant on model spectra of WDs what models to use?, uncertainties?
Analyse LETG + HRCS data HZ 43A, Sirius B and RX J1856.53754 determine spectral parameters improve effective area.
Compare obtained photon spectra with EUVE and ROSAT and XMM (work by Frank Haberl)
