Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Dec-2004

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-0926) 4013
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 3834
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 3759
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 3634

Turnaround (in days) between Data acquisition and final Data Products distribution (last Quarter)
Values in excess of 90 days usually indicate a problem analysing the data and/or that re-processing was required. 		Data production delay

Details on the Observation Status can be found on the Observation & Data Processing pages.

Publications based on XMM-Newton data

Number of refereed papers based on XMM-Newton Data
 719
Refereed papers
Derived from ADS. 		XMM-Newton publications per quarter
Please note; the large number of publications in the 1st quarter of 2001 is due to the release of the A&A special issue on XMM-Newton. The number of publications in the quarter at the time of issue is an underestimate.
