XMM­Newton CCF Release Note
XMM­CCF­REL­62
EPIC PN Energy Scale
D Lumb
February 9, 2001
1 Changes
The offset values for selected columns is uploaded to the PN instrument at the same time as bad
pixel locations. This offset corrects for low level noisy columns, by artificially suppressessing their
threshold values. However in the ground processing this value must be added back in to obtain the
correct energy scaling.
While previous submissions acounted for this, we noted that due to manual commanding, neces­
sary at various points, an old database set had to be used therefore the validity of these calibration
files has oscillated back and forth.
An added complication for this submission is that there were a number of very noisy pixels
appeared at Rev 156, and subsequently for several orbits the telemetry was only able to handle
these by manually adjusting the offset values in a number of columns. After Revolution 192 this
was fixed, except for occasional commanding errors (eg Rev 199)
2 Scientific Impact of this Update
For a limited set of columns ensures a correct energy conversion. However if the wrong file is used
it probably only affects a handful of columns at around a few eV level.
3 Estimated Scientific Quality
We expect that because the threshold of these columns was artificially raised, the actual detection
efficiencies will have been altered as well. Not yet accounted for.
