XMM-Newton Current Calibration File: Updates

Back to Calibration Homepage

2002-05-28; Information about the canned PN EPIC response files updated

PN canned response files for burst and timing modes have been added to the repository. Due to the lack of point sources with strong emission lines the energy resolution assumed to produce the RMF files for pn timing and burst mode has not been checked over the whole energy band. Be carefull when interpreting derived line widths. Lines in spectra of extended sources are expected to be broadened by CTI correction which assumes a certain position of the source on the detector.
