XMM-Newton Cross-Calibration Status Meeting Summary: Achievements and Future Plans

Detailed summary of the XMM-Newton cross-calibration status meeting held in Mallorca on 06-07 November 2007. Martin Stuhlinger and the cross-calibration team presented findings on AGN flux ratios from 3C273 and H1426+428, galaxy cluster temperatures, and low-energy stability of RXJ1856-3754. The archive's upcoming public release in 2007 and processing updates using ESAC grid were discussed. Cross-comparison statistics between XMM-Newton, Chandra, and Suzaku, with analysis on spectral slopes and normalization uncertainties were highlighted.

  16. Cross-calibration archive • to go public by end 2007 • Current content: • ~ 250 observations • ~ 150 checked in for automated processing (XMM only) • ~ 20 checked in for automated processing (XMM-Chandra) • all will be checked in by end 2007 (definition of extraction region/times and check for pile up needs to be checked and iterated ONCE manually) • Using ESAC grid: • 10 nodes so far, each node has 2 CPUs Intel(R) Xeon(TM) 3.00GHz with 6GB of memory • process and fit 150 Observations /24 hours

  20. XMM-Newton / Suzaku Suzaku extraction script ready. Spectral slopes agree well. Correct normalisation still slightly unclear due to open questions on data extraction.
