Delivery Note for Observation - 747/0158160401 (GRB040106) =============================================================== XFTS Delivery Date to SOC : Tue Jan 20 15:42:54 2004 1 PCMS Processing ----------------- Summary release note for pipeline 02000051/20030917.155521 The previous production pipeline (04000013/20030722.143236, prod2) used SAS 5.4.2, that is xmmsas_20030717_1631. The new pipeline started operations on 18/09/2003. It uses SAS 5.4.3, that is xmmsas_20030911_1631. The pipeline is prod version 02000051/20030917.155521 Summary: -------- The principal change in this pipeline is the upgrade of eexpmap from version 3.27.3 to 3.27.5. This addesses the following issues: - Avoid undefined values of pntimedel - Initialize function xxcti with xxcti = tend - tbeg - Use column TIMEDEL in exposure extensions to calculate exposures. - For EPN, write keywords "OOTCORR" and "OOTFRAC". - Fixed error in flag mask interpretation. The (badpixfind) "backgroundrate" parameter for selecting bad pixels has been lowered from 0.0011 to 0.00011. This follows a recommendation from the task author. This change will reduce the 2% spurious excess of bad pixels in the PN. 2 Data Product Screening Report ------------------------------- XMM SSC data-product screening log Version: 20-Jan-04 Revolution 747 Obs Seq. 0158160401 Target GRB040106 Seq_id 007601 ** GENERAL COMMENTS Medium bright source in center of EPIC images Flaring activity affects less than half of the observation time Some OM exposures with filter Grism1 or Grism2 or Magnifier Problems: OM source detection EPIC comments refer, in general, to Energy-band 8. ** EPIC MOS1 Exposure P0158160401M1U002: PrimeFullWindow with Medium filter (duration 43155.4 s; 39533.4 s in image).
