Jan-Uwe Ness: started in the Users Support Team and OM instrument team, 1st Dec 2009
Instrument Operations Team

Guillermo Buenadicha: in SMOS, 1 June 2008 Last Inscon: up to 31 March 2008 (thanks to all of them!) Blanca Juarez: part time as data-aid
SOC keeps Real Time link: point of contact for

Instrument Teams and allows for RT monitoring of special instrument operations

Science Program
AO7, May 2008 - April 2009: status as of March 25:


A+B performed: 11,600 ks: 94% C: 1700 ks: 21% of recommended C time (27-31% in last two AOs)

AO8, May 2009 ­ April 2010


Oversubscription 7.4 & 555 proposals Second phase finished February 8, enhancement ~ finished

AO9 milestones:


Call open on August 25, 2009 Closure on October 9 (12UT) 2009 Approved program: late December 2009 Second phase: 11 January ­ 5 February 2010 Start observations: May 2010

ESAM: 1.3 revolutions (~160 ks)


Impact of Anomalies in October 2008
7-9 October 2008, rev. 1617-1618

Loss of contact: 7 revolutions 1623-1629, ~ 820 ks of

science

One-antenna operations in November: 350 ks lost

(20% of the available time in that period Total ~1300 Ks lost (~6% of 1-yr time)

New operations strategy: as of Dec 5, 2008, rev 1647

(and test on Dec 1, rev 1645):

No Impact as of Dec 5, 2008 !!! XMM-Newton

Two antennas
Change of antenna: avoid

sending TC during ~ 30 m.

Time for antenna swap depends

on S/C pointing attitude: determined at the SOC and inserted in the planning skeleton SOC is for the first time computing S/C constraints with own tools and determining best times for an S/C operation Iterations between MOC and SOC are avoided (could have made the planning a too long process !)

Efficiency is recovered !

Next meeting: 6-7 May 2009 Endorsement 2006-05-19/11: The Users Group endorses the future plans for calibration improvements. Particular emphasis on: solve high energy discrepancies between pn and MOS Pursue devel. of background estimation tools Devel. the off-axis PSF Recommendation 2007-06-08/39: Priority for timing modes is calibration of Timing and Burst modes. After they are fixed, pn modified timing recommendation can be revised, now only on case by case basis. Endorsement 2008-05-07/04: current cal. plan is endorsed, especially the EPIC PSF: Recommendation 2008-05-07/04: the new 2D-PSF model should be described in a technical document such that model parameters stored in a CCF can be understood and interpreted outside SAS Recommendation 2007-06-08/45: Background working group to make a study of the needs for closed filter data. Recommendation 2008-05-07/05: XMM-ESAS to accept pn data, and to be made easier and simplified if possible, especially wrt fitting Recommendation 2008-05-07/06: the EPIC BGWG to continue their ongoing work Recommendation 2008-05-07/07: selection of blank sky fields based on the count rate value, i.e. level of background

RGS and OM
RGS: meeting 5-6 March, see Andy's talk

Calibration: effective area and wavelength: progress do n e Operations: working on a new mode for very bright Xray sources, the Small Window (only part of the crossdispersion direction read to allow faster readout of CCDs)


OM: meeting 24-25 March


No major calibration issue Instrument degradation predictions after 2015, since launch:
· < 15% in optical and UVW1 · < 25% in UVM2 and UVW2



OM catalogue: 680,000 sources with at least one UV measurment XMM-Newton
