Key Points

Complete transmittance curves were created for the x-ray filters, ensuring precise calibration.
These curves will be instrumental for the mission's scientific observations and data acquisition.
Calibration is essential for accurate interpretation of x-ray data collected by the Einstein Probe.
The study details the methods and processes implemented prior to the mission's launch.

Implication

Calibration process established complete transmittance curves for x-ray filters, enhancing scientific accuracy.

Abstract

Complete transmittance curves were created for the instrument’s three filters and will serve to calibrate the mission’s scientific observations.
