Science Support Status

Maria Santos-Lleo EPIC calibration meeting, ESAC 9 April 2015


Overview
XMM-Newton Mission extension approved for 2 more years Team moves are now frequent, thank you to those who left (excellent contribution appreciated!) and welcome to new, very motivated people! Science Programme continues in good shape (next call in October) We keep on: calibrating (EPIC and) the other instruments, i.e. RGS and OM delivering data, improving the SAS, pipeline processing and archiving and organizing workshops

Mission Extension
"During its meeting at the European Space Astronomy Centre, near Madrid, on 19 November, the
ESA' Science Programme Committee (SPC) gave the green light for the flotilla of spacecraft to continue their key scientific endeavours for at least another two years. (...) Decisions to extend ESA space science missions are made on a rolling two-year schedule. The next two-year mission extension cycle will begin in mid-2016."

XMM-Newton funded until end 2016 and
extension approved until end 2018, subject to review late 2016

Users Group: recommendations
Resolution 2014-04-11/04: The UG noted with satisfaction the enormous progress in the

calibration areas that were identified in 2013 as highest priorities, in particular
a) The on-going EPIC MOS-pn cross-calibration and multi-mission effective area calibration
b) The Timing Mode energy scale calibration which is now accurate to ~20 eV c) The start of the Burst Mode calibration activities d) The updated PSF calibration based on EPIC-pn Timing Mode data

e) The RGS absolute wavelength calibration scale, now accurate to 5-7 må.

Users Group: recommendations
Recommendation 2014-04-11/01: The UG establishes the following priorities for the calibration activities: 1. Continue progress on non-finished issues should be the top priority: a. Finalise cross-calibration among EPIC cameras, with a proper scientific validation, within the next months and continue monitoring EPIC-RGS cross-calibration.

b. EPIC-pn issues to be fixed within SAS 14: fix the different calibration between single and double events, re-engineering of the long-term CTI and correct for the timeevolution of energy resolution.
c. Continue the Burst Mode calibration activity, leading to a new calibration in ~1 year timeframe. 2. Understanding the background for low-surface brightness observations a. Recognise Dr. David Lumb's contributions and encourage him to continue with the on-going progress on stray-light in-orbit calibration activities b. Make progress on the characterisation of the particle-generated background (either through protons or reflected X-rays) in the EPIC cameras
