XMM-Newton OM Response Files Page . ... Data Analysis SAS News What is SAS? ... The response files have the name om_effarea_<filter>_v2.0.rsp. The response files should be used in conjunction with a spectral data file containing the filter count rate. Such a data file may be created by editing the template filter file om_filter_default.pi with a fits editor such as 'fv' and changing the "RATE" and "STAT_ERR" entries in the SPECTRUM extension to the filter count rate and error. ...

... Chapter 2: The Basics of Phase II Proposals > 2.4 Examples and General Advice . ... First, you have to acquire an object successfully that is at or near the position at which the science observation will be made. ... The object?s coordinates must be both precise and accurate and any proper motion must be known. ... An offset is explicit when you use a Special Requirement such as POS TARG (see POSition TARGet <X-value>,<Y-value> ) to move the telescope away from the position acquired. ...

... This chapter describes the PEPSYS package for general photometric reductions. The function of photometric reductions is to measure and remove, so far as possible, the instrumental signature from the data. ... The package contains two main parts: a planning program and a reduction program. The planning program interacts with the user to find out the goals of the observing program, and then produces a schedule of the observations needed to meet those goals efficiently. ...
