We use the large number of available X‐shooter automatic flexure compensation exposures that have accumulated in the archive to constrain parameters of the instrument physical model. This enables us to establish which physical model parameters vary with instrument orientation and hence directly identify physical mechanisms that give rise to flexure effects in the spectral format (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
