Status of EPICs Operations. Guillermo Buenadicha PALERMO 11/04/07. PN Activities. Several observations in different modes with Lower Thresholds executed. Some special observations regarding noisy column 64 in CCD-11 NRCO-57 on PKS2155-304 (Offset map in SW, followed by several FW changes)

Status of EPICs Operations Guillermo Buenadicha PALERMO 11/04/07
PN Activities • Several observations in different modes with Lower Thresholds executed. • Some special observations regarding noisy column 64 in CCD-11 • NRCO-57 on PKS2155-304 (Offset map in SW, followed by several FW changes) • In general, smooth operations. • X-training to Jim Martin (MOC) • New BP tables pending implementation (next DB in May)
MOS Activities • Further 3x3 testing to prepare pointed observations. Real target in May. • Cross effect of central CCD clocking on peripheral analysis. • CCD-6 health (!!!) check. Guess what… Nothing different from past runs ;-( , typical AFFA (Tony???) value • New ED defined for future CCD-6 analysis. • X-training to Andrea Guidi (MOC) • Pending new Offset Maps, DB in May
Others • Eclipse season OK. • Double Moon-Earth eclipse on rev 1302. • Several periods w/o RGS operations • Thermal impact RGS vs. PN, some analysis on feasibility to further test. Not much chance. • Possible further work on MOS 3x3 (fine tuned Offset Maps, DB Activities) • Any operation linked to future Instrument automated operations (many new DB items). • 50% of my time now into XMM, rest in PLANCK PSO Integration and Testing.
