Presentation Transcript

  1. ACTIONS • EPIC_10/1 on Munoz. • Closed: MS delivered Slew Data Files • EPIC_10/2 on Smith: to verify whether PHS_tools checks for optical loading in the complete pn fov • Open ?? • EPIC_9/2 on Altieri: to provide new CCFs reflecting the current MOS bad pixels. • Closed with latest CCF/SAS release • EPIC_8/1 on Palombara: to propose work-around for EMDH limitation of 50 bad pixels flagged per CCD(cooling perhaps makes it less critical)

  2. ACTIONS (from cooling review) AI Wrap-1:on the SOC (MK) to summarise current planning for CALCLOSED measurements with a view confirming PI agreement to the strategy at the EPIC/TTD/Calibration meeting. AI Wrap-2 :on the SOC (MK) to specify any ongoing monitoring of CCDnoise with a view to confirming a strategy with the PI atthe upcoming EPIC TTD/Calibration Meeting. AI Wrap-3 :on the SOC (MK) to specify current planning for bright-pixelmonitoring with a view to confirming a strategy with the PI at the upcoming EPIC TTD/Calibration Meeting.

  3. Status of science operationsEPIC OPS Meeting 03. January 2003University of Tübingen (IAAT)

  4. Content • Instruments, S/C & Cal. • XSA, SAS, misc. • operational efficiency • radiation: “space weather” • spacecraft status • v manoeuvre (Mauro)

  5. INSTRUMENTS AND S/C GENERAL : • Earth Limb constraintset(from47) to 42 degrees • Single boresight died: it put the OVIII Ly alpha lineontoRGS defect • Meteor shower avoidance : • Perseids (Revs.490 and 491) and Leonids (Revs.538 and 540) avoidance • probable meteoroid impact occurred on Rev.490 few-frame flash seen on MOS2: no lasting effects seen • in the following days the "MOS blobs" were noticed • Eclipse season in September (another one coming up)

  6. INSTRUMENTS AND S/C(Contd.) EPIC : • MOS cooling (to -120)(see talk of LM) • new temperature calibration • pn Full Frame with masking tested(see talk of UB) • optimization of the pn Offset per observation(see talk of EK) RGS : • RGS cooling (to -110) • RGS HTR mode (not in A03)

  7. CALIBRATION GENERAL : • enhanced installation of SciSIM. Commitment to maintenance. • new portal for calibration: http://xmm.vilspa.esa.es/external/xmm_sw_cal/calib/index.shtml • Capella cross-calibration with Chandra: GRB021004 killed first effort second attempt it went ahead with simultaneous observations EPIC : • See specific calibration talks and Cooling report RGS : • RGS IDT believes great improvements of wavelength calibration possible • key is better pointing reconstruction.

  8. XSA • XSA v1.5 release on 15/11/2002 • Product and Postcard Server • custom retrieval • dataset size indicator • links to publications • tar option in shopping basket • quota on volume

  9. SAS • Version 5.4.1 of the Science Analysis System released • need a new SAS Manual version soon • full restructuring of the SAS web pages done in period • VilSpa took over of SAS RGS tasks from Columbia • second SAS workshop (very positive feedback)

  10. MISCELLANEOUS • intensive efforts on HEASARC-based RPS tool for A03 • CD distribution to PIs to be discontinued beginning 2003 notification of data availability through XSA • SOC contact for EPIC OPS/Cal. meetings  Marcus K. from time to time have a look at: http://xmm.vilspa.esa.es/

  17. spacecraft status • All spacecraft subsystems on primary chain. No redundancy used sofar. • hydrazine: ~5 kg/year • solar power: nominal • earth limb constraint : since 10/02 47º  42 º • next eclipses: 19/02/2003 until 13/03/2003
