XMM impacts history

XMMNewton EPIC MOS

XMM was launched on 10 December 1999 into a highly elliptical orbit and each revolution takes 2 days. Rev 107 ­ 17 July 2000 ­ MOS2 ­ patch of hot pixels on 3 CCDs - questionable whether was due to large proton flare prior to Filter Wheel closing Rev 156 ­ 15 Oct 2000­ PN ­ several hot pixels suddenly appear Rev 325 ­ 17 Sept 2001 ­ MOS1 ­ bright flash seen, many new hot pixels Rev 961 ­ 9 March 2005 ­ MOS1 ­ bright flash seen, bright column developed on central CCD, total loss of CCD6

Impact rev 961­ hot column on CCD1

XMMNewton EPIC MOS

The new hot column (X=324) unfortunately passes very near to the centre of CCD1. Over a period of a few weeks it appeared to be fading to below threshold, but the next slide shows it is q u ite variable but with perhaps a slow decline.

Conclusions
No real need to set column 324 as bad because an offset table change can suppress it Set offset for column 324 as appropriate ­ 123 ADU ? This was done on rev 1044 ? Review level of column 324 at 3 month intervals and adjust as necessary
