EPIC Operations Status Update - April 11, 2007

This report outlines the current status of EPIC operations managed by Guillermo Buenadicha in Palermo. Key points include the execution of several observations across different modes, with particular attention to issues in noisy column 64 of CCD-11 and NRCO-57 observations of PKS2155-304. Confirmation of smooth operations, and training sessions provided to team members. Notably, future CCD-6 analysis and upcoming database implementations are highlighted along with ongoing testing efforts for pointed observations. Eclipse season and thermal impacts on RGS versus PN are also discussed.

  1. Status of EPICs Operations Guillermo Buenadicha PALERMO 11/04/07

  2. 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)

  3. 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

  4. 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.
