XMM-Newton Current Calibration File: Updates
| Back to Calibration Homepage |
2004-10-15; MOS response files for all modes have been updated
The timing mode response has been much improved below 1 keV where large discrepancies with model fits were previously seen.The tail of the redistribution function has been adjusted for all modes. This particularly affects very hard sources which previously showed an unnatural deficit at low energies where there were no source photons.
The naming convention has changed to include the revolution number.
It is now:
<camera>_<rev>_<mode>_<patterns>_<ver>.rmf
where;
| camera | m1 for MOS-1 or m2 for MOS-2 | |
| rev | the three digit revolution number | |
| mode | im for imaging mode or tu for timing mode | |
| patterns | p0 for pattern zero only or pall for patterns 0-12 | |
| ver | version number of the release, eg; v1.2 |
