2 Changes
A new ADUCONV CCF has been generated from the values derived by Leicester after the cooling
of the cameras.
3 Scientic Impact of this Update
The update takes the change in gain of the cold MOS cameras into account. In combination with
the EMOS* CTI 0015.CCF there is no scientic impact on the data despite of the positive fact,
that the ernergy resolution with the cold camera has improved by a factor of 0.85. See gure 1 and
gure 2.
4 Estimated Scientic Quality
The CCF takes the post cooling condition for the gain into account. Figure 3 shows corrected MOS1
pre- and post-cooling spectra. There's no signifcant shift in the observed line features or evidence

5 Test procedures & results
The new ADUCONV CCFs have been tested with the Development Track (DT) version of the SAS
at VilSpa using the observation 0142860201 of rev. 536 for functional test. Furthermore Leicester
performed tests with the Development Track (DT) version of the SAS on the observations:
0156960101: Vela SNR in rev. 533 (pre cooling)
0156960301: Vela SNR in rev. 534 (post cooling)
In adition the new ADUCONV CCFs 12-19 have been tested with the Development Track (DT)
version of the SAS at VilSpa using all available CALCLOSED observations. The reconstructed line
position for the CALCLOSED observation 0156960501 from revolution 533 (cold camera) is at the
correct position for Mn and Al for both cameras. See gure 4 and gure 5.

6 Expected Updates
The ADUCONV CCFs could be tuned further to limit the slight over-correction (see also XMM-
CCF-REL-125).
