In-flight performance and calibration of the Chandra high-resolution camera imager (HRC-I)

In this paper we present and compare flight results with the latest results of the ground calibration for the HRC-I detector. In particular we will compare ground and in flight data on detector background, effective area, quantum efficiency and point spread response function.
