  2. XMM-Newton: Mission Status, Overview of US Program & Archive • Currently in 7th year of operations; to be supported by ESA through 2010 • Spacecraft and subsystems have no major problems • 5th GO cycle observations start in May 2006 • US investigators comprise ~40% of GO program PIs, ~70% of programs have US participation (supported by NASA grants) • NASA GOF provides technical and scientific support to US community (2.5 science FTEs) • Future Profile of NASA XMM-Newton funding to be determined by 2006 MO&DA Senior Review Steve Drake

  3. XMM-Newton: Recent Milestones • 9 March 2005: 1 of 7 MOS2 CCDs destroyed by micrometeorite, the other 6 were unaffected • August 2005: Release of XMM SAS V6.5 • December 2005: AO-5 results released • December 2005: XMM-Newton mission extended until at least 2010 • 2005: 2.5 TB (18% of total HEASARC), or about 9000 data sets, of XMM-Newton data downloaded from the archive • January 2006: Publication of 1000th refereed article using XMM-Newton data • February 2006: 0.9 TB of public XMM-Newton data available from the HEASARC • February 2006: XMM-Newton OM data available via MAST interface • April 2006: Release of XMM-Newton Extended Source Analysis Software (XMM-ESAS) for modeling EPIC-MOS background both spatially and spectrally (Steve Snowden & Kip Kuntz) Steve Drake

  4. XMM-Newton GOF & Archive: Upcoming Milestones • April/May 2006: Release of XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog (XMMSSC) v.2 with 100,000 sources, 10,000 with spectra and light curves (SSC Consortium) • April/May 2006: Release of EPIC PN Slew Survey • May 2006: Release of OM Catalog • May 2006: XMM-Newton in MO&DA Senior Review • Fall 2006: AO-6 Proposal Cycle – Release 28 August, due 6 October Steve Drake
