List of Figures
List of Tables
1.
XMM-Newton characteristics - an overview
2.
The on-axis in orbit and on ground 1.5 keV PSFs of the different X-ray telescopes
3.
Basic numbers for the science modes of EPIC
4.
Detection limits (
i.e., minimum detectable flux at 4
in units of
erg cm
s
) for different energy bands in the 1.16 Ms observation of the Lockman Hole (
Hasinger et al., 2001, A&A 365, L45
;
Brunner et al. 2008, A&A, 479, 283
).
5.
The effect of pile-up on spectral fits
6.
EPIC Out-of-Time (OoT) events. The percentage of OoT events is given by the mode dependent ratio of readout time and integration time
7.
List of EPIC event patterns
8.
RGS In-orbit Performance
9.
Wavelength and energy ranges covered by the chips of RGS 1 and 2 for an on-axis source in first order. Due to the scattering, the chip boundaries do not cause sharp features in the effective area. Values in brackets correspond to the non-operational chains.
10.
Wavelength ranges covered by the RGS in different grating orders
11.
RGS science data acquisition modes
12.
RGS1 detector defects and corresponding wavelengths for on-axis sources.
13.
RGS2 detector defects and corresponding wavelengths for on-axis sources. Since the introduction of single-node operations, the node boundary that applies between the two nodes of the RGS1 CCDs is no longer relevant in RGS2.
14.
OM characteristics - an overview
15.
The science data acquisition modes of OM
16.
OM exposure time constraints
17.
OM on-board PSF FWHM in different lenticular filters
18.
OM optical elements
19.
Zeropoints for various OM filters
20.
OM UV grism sensitivity
[
detected flux: erg cm
s
Å
]
for different detection levels. The Visible grism is one order of magnitude more sensitive than the UV one.
21.
OM count rates
[
counts s
]
as function of spectral type for stars with
mag under the assumption of a zero deadtime detector
22.
Limiting magnitudes
for a 5-
detection in 1000 s
23.
Observed limiting magnitudes
for a 5-sigma detection (scaled to 1000s)
24.
Levels of different OM background contributors
25.
The
brightness limits for all OM filters. An A0 type star spectrum is assumed.
26.
Comparison of XMM-Newton with other X-ray satellites
