  1. Science Operations Status Maria Santos-Lleo EPIC cal & ops meeting, Madrid 23-24 March, 2010

  2. Contents • Science program status • Mission planning • Community Support • Instruments • SAS • Users Group Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 2

  3. Science Program • AO8, May 2009 - April 2010: status as of March 16: • A+B performed: 12,300 ks: 95% • C: 2800 ks: 32% of recommended C time • AO9, May 2010 – April 2011 • Oversubscription 7.7 & 539 proposals • Second phase finished February 5, enhancement ~ finished • A10 milestones: • Call open on August 24, 2010 • Closure on October 8 (12UT) 2010 • Approved program: late December 2010 • Second phase: January 10 – February 4, 2011 • Start observations: May 2011 Courtesy: P.Rodriguez Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 3

  4. Mission Planning • AO9: May 2010 – April 2011: • Long Term Plan in preparation, to go public in May • Scheduling: • On-board antenna constraints check at SOC  efficiency fully recovered • Frequent Ground/Station maintenance-upgrade periods • need to use backup G/S with sometimes lower performance • Some impact on scheduling Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 4

  5. Community Support: data access • Archive: next XSA release week of April 26: • access to 2XMMiDR3, • Access to next incremental version of Slew Catalogue • Latest Slew Results (R.Duro, R.Saxton, N.Schartel) • http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_products/slew_results • BiRD updated with public data until September 2009 (R.Gonzalez & P.Rodriguez) Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 5

  6. Community Support: workshops • Science Workshop: Ultra-luminous X-ray sources and Middle Weight Black Holes • http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_science/workshops/2010_science/ • Program to be available on April 15 • Workshop 24-26 May at ESAC (bus transport from Madrid) • X-ray Universe 2011: May or June 2011, new venue (a European capital?) • SAS workshop: 21-25 June • 10th anniversary presentations at: • http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_news/items/10th_Anniversary/ Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 6

  7. Community Support: documentation • Users Handbook: next update needed for AO-10: • Calibration scientist (Matteo) will ask for inputs in early May • Inputs needed by end of May • SAS manual: update following next release • Reminder: send your preferred pictures to the Gallery • http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_science/gallery/public/index.php • Reminder: let us know about Thesis done with XMM-Newton data Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 7

  8. Instruments • RGS: see Andy’ s presentation • OM • Overall performance is monitored through regular observation of spectro-photometric standard stars: • time dependent sensitivity degradation correction is implemented into SAS. • Bad pixels (dead and low sensitivity) are checked using flat fields and extended objects observations. Sources affected by bad pixels are flagged into SAS. • Astrometry and photometric calibration (instrumental system, conversion to standard Johnson UBV and AB system in UV) are applied by SAS • Grisms wavelength and absolute flux calibration applied by SAS • A OM calibration paper will be submitted to a refereed publication soon. Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 8

  9. SAS • SAS 10 is in the track … • Currently frozen, • Waiting for validation results • See Richard’ s presentation Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 9

  10. Users Group • Meeting #11: 12-13 May at ESAC • Recommendations for EPIC: see Matteo’ s presentation • Other: • Time epoch-dependent fudge function for RGS effective area such that the joint analysis of RGS and EPIC data is possible • Continue to play a leading role in cross-cal with other missions • RISA: long-term task with low priority, investigate as well other options • Investigate if coordinated efforts to maintain software and prepare for the future with Chandra, Heasarc, Suzaku … • New chair after this meeting: Xavier Barcons, already attending in May Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 10

  11. Science • See, e.g. N.Schartel presentation in the 10th anniversary event Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 11

  12. Thanks ! Thank you very much to the Instrument teams for their continuous support and contribution to science operations ! Questions? Science Operations | M.Santos-Lleo |EPIC meeting | March 2010 | Pag. 12
