X-ray Mission Cross Calibration
Comparison of XMM-Newton EPIC, Chandra ACIS-S3, ASCA SIS and GIS, and ROSAT PSPC results for G21.5-0.9, 1ES0102-72.3, and MS1054.4-0321 A "Man on the street" view of the current status of the cross calibration. Ю Publicly available software (SAS 5.2, mostly CIAO 2.1) and current calibration data bases (well almost) Ю Will not address "Truth" but "Beauty" is a relative concept Steve Snowden ­ NASA/GSFC/USRA Paul Plucinsky, Dick Edgar ­ CXC Dave Lumb ­ ESTEC Richard Saxton, Steve Sembay ­ U.

Caveats
Calibration and software as current in the last month or two Ю The calibration and software are moving quantities which are improving with time, i.e., in the last 8 months these results have changed for the better. Fudge for the ACIS-S3 fits: a carbon Kalpha edge of optical depth 1.0 has been added which improves the fits There are sensitivities to the energy range, background selection, spectral model, which data are being fit, what parameters are being fit simultaneously, etc. ACIS results are for the S3 CCD only.

G21.5-0.9
Crab-like SNR with an extended X-ray halo In order to compare XMM and Chandra results with those from ASCA, full remnant extracted (XMM/Chandra 165" radius, ASCA 240" radius) Power-law spectrum dominates PN, MOS1, MOS2, ACIS-S3, SIS0, SIS1, GIS2, GIS3

SMC SNR Very line rich MOS1, MOS2, ACIS-S3, SIS0, SIS1, GIS2, GIS3, PSPC, RGS1, RGS2 Spectrum: 2 absorbed APEC thermal spectra with variable abundances Terrible fit in terms of 2 but good enough for fitted flux comparison

Conclusions
Pretty good, but work left to do.
Ю Ю Ю Ю EPIC/ACIS flux calibration good to +/- 5% Power law indices good to < 0.1 EPIC MOS/PN inconsistency must be resolved ACIS-S3 low energy response must be fixed

Ю And, of course, more comparisons need to be done Different spectra EPIC vs ACIS-I
