In response to your first query - do you get the same shift (and what is it) if you got with a simple gauss_fit?
At line 14 changed one line
In response to your second query we would need more information. Various work has been carried on line widths looking at the differences
Line_width_variation_studies_by_EIS?
Secondly, can we get the accurate width variation ? , and can we use these datas for line-width variation studies ?

About the instrumental width, [Doschek et al 2007|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007ApJ...667L.109D] proposed a FWHM of 2.5 pixels (i.e. 56 mA) in orbit given that the FWHM is 1.956 pixels in laboratory and [Brown et al. 2008|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008ApJS..176..511B] give us between 54mA and 57mA depending on the wave band and the wavelength.\\
Is there any instrumental profile available?\\
Is it a Gaussian profile? What is the width commonly used ?\\

Hi Céline,
I think the answer may be in your question, actually.
The Doschek ''et al.'' article states a single number, but that is based on comparisons with older data. However, it is still consistent with the numbers derived from comparing the pre-launch laboratory EIS calibration data with the on-orbit EIS data by Brown ''et al.'' (2008). The Brown ''et al.'' numbers are inferred widths, but the reasoning is pretty logical; the fact that the Doschek ''et al.'' (2007) number falls within that range of 0.054 — 0.057 Å is comforting.
In summary, Brown ''et al.'' (2008) assume a Gaussian instrumental line profile, and they infer an instrumental width of 0.054 Å in the short-wavelength channel (170 — 210 Å) and 0.057 Å for the long-wavelength channel (250 — 290 Å).
__NOTE!__ As Céline Boutry points out, this is the FWHM of the instrumental width (not the Gaussian width σ as previously incorrectly stated here).
