XMM-Newton Science Analysis System Page: 1 dpssvali August 16, 2005 Abstract The task dpssvali performs validation checks of XMM PPS les making it the automatic part of the Data Product Screening System (DPSS). The tests include existence and parameter range checks for header key words and source tables columns of EPIC PPS Fits les. ... The check fails, if the source list SRCLIST does not exists. ... Adding additional functionality to EPIC PPS product checks according to input from SAS developers. ...

... Also the measured signals are affected by detector transients, altering the final results considerably. We present the design and the main features of a software package, developed in order to support the absolute calibration of the instrument. ... In case the fit is not successful, the average of the last 30% of the data is taken as the final signal. ... The two different symbols represent individual calibrations of the final background signals, using the first or the second FCS-signal. ...

... The analysis and reduction of the STIS flanking fields proceeded in similar fashion as for the imaging of the Main STIS Field. ... The DARK calibration reference file used in the CALSTIS data reduction steps was constructed using a 'delta-dark' image appropriate for the epoch of the flanking field observations. ... DRIZZLE drop-size used for the flanking fields was a "pixfrac" of 0.8. ... For information on the data reduction, please read first the technical information for the Main WFPC2 Field . ...
