Full release note for ppsprod-16.45 =================================== Pipeline Version: 16.45_20171222_1520 Pipeline name: ppsprod Release Date: 2017-12-22 SAS Manifest: xmmsas_20171220_1025 Summary ======= This new version of the pipeline is based on the SAS16.1 public release with some minor modifications. The main changes in the products with respect to previous version are -) the actual EPIC count rate of a source is now taken into account to optimize the flaring background filtering for extraction of its EPIC spectrum. This change affects mostly bright sources where the total signal-to-noise in the spectrum is not significantly affected by background flaring. -) pile-up diagnostic numbers for EPIC sources are included in the header of the EPIC spectra according to two different methods: (a) based on the count rate following the recipes in Jethwa et al. (2015,A&A,581,A104) and (b) the observed-to-model singles and doubles pattern fraction ratios (SNGL_OTM and DBLE_OTM) computed by the SAS task epatplot. -) response matrix and effective area files for 2nd order RGS spectra are now also included under the PPS products -) footprints for EPIC observations based on the combined EPIC exposure maps are provided as ds9 region files. -) OM sources detected within the degraded sensitivity area after overexposure to Jupiter are flagged as affected by bad pixels. The version of SAS being used is a pipeline-specific manifest xmmsas_20171220_1025. This is based on the public SAS release 16.1.0, described at http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/sas-release-notes-1610 Documentation ============= Documentation for this pipeline can be found at: http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/pipeline and links therein.

Archival Catalogue and Database Subsystem (ACDS) at the Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg (OAS) - they are the result of cross-correlations of XMM sources with archival catalogues by the ACDS. They have been made previously but are outlined here for the first time. Those files with xxxxa tags are generated for each external catalogue that the XMM sources are correlated with. ii. SAS Tasks ============= The current pipeline uses a pipeline-specific SAS manifest xmmsas_20171220_1025. This manifest is built upon the version 16.1.0 release of the SAS (manifest xmmsas_20170719_1539 - see http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/sas-release-notes-1610. for details of the SAS task versions and changes relative to the previous SAS releases) but includes a number of specific task patches. SAS tasks used in the current pipeline are shown in the table below, along with their respective versions in SAS 16.1.0. The second column indicates whether the task has a newer (>) or the same (=) version number in the pipeline version. |================|===|=================|============| | TASK | | SAS 16.1.0 | 16.45 | |================|===|=================|============| |addattribute | = | 2.2.7 | 2.2.7 | |arfgen | = | 1.93.1 | 1.93.1 | |attcalc | = | 4.37 | 4.37 | |attfilter | = | 4.37 | 4.37 | |attbin | = | 1.3.3 | 1.3.3 | |atthkgen | = | 1.21 | 1.21 | |attmove | = | 1.5 | 1.5 | |backscale | = | 1.4.2 | 1.4.2 | |badpix | = | 2.32.3 | 2.32.3 | |badpixfind | = | 1.40 | 1.40 | |bkgoptrate | = | 1.7 | 1.7 | |catcorr | = | 0.9.1 | 0.9.1 | |catprep | = | 0.4.2 | 0.4.2 | |cifbuild | = | 4.8 | 4.8 | |dpssflag | = | 11.3.1 | 11.3.1 | |dpsssrc | = | 1.1 | 1.1 | |dscopyblock | = | 1.10 | 1.10 | |dscp | = | 1.10 | 1.10 | |dsrm | = | 1.10 | 1.10 | |eboxdetect | = | 4.27.4 | 4.27.4 | |ebkgreg | = | 0.7.2 | 0.7.2 | |echeckregion | = | 1.48.2 | 1.48.2 | |ecoordconv | = | 1.48.2 | 1.48.2 | |eexpmap | = | 4.11.2 | 4.11.2 | |efftplot | = | 2.20 | 2.20 | |ekstest | = | 2.7 | 2.7 | |elcplot | = | 2.5.3 | 2.5.3 | |emask | = | 2.14 | 2.14 | |embadpixfind | = | 2.5 | 2.5 | |emenergy | = | 8.8 | 8.8 | |emevents | = | 8.7 | 8.7 | |emeventsproj | = | 1.5.2 | 1.5.2 | |emframes | = | 5.10 | 5.10 | |emldetect | = | 7.1 | 7.1 | |emosaic | = | 1.17 | 1.17 | |emtaglenoise | = | 1.1 | 1.1 | |eootepileupmask | = | 2.9 | 2.9 | |epatplot | = | 1.20 | 1.20 | |epevents | = | 6.50.1 | 6.50.1 | |epexposure | = | 0.14.1 | 0.14.1 | |epfast | = | 0.6 | 0.6 | |epframes | = | 8.109.1 | 8.109.1 | |epiclccorr | = | 1.21.1 | 1.21.1 | |epproc | = | 2.21.1 | 2.21.1 | |eposcorr | = | 3.12.2 | 3.12.2 | |epreject | = | 5.17 | 5.17 | |epnoise | = | 0.7.4 | 0.7.4 | |esensmap | = | 3.12.2 | 3.12.2 | |eslewchain | > | 1.11 | 1.15 | |eslewsearch | > | 1.11 | 1.15 | |esources | = | 1.4.1 | 1.4.1 | |especget | = | 1.48.2 | 1.48.2 | |esplinemap | = | 5.0.2 | 5.0.2 | |etimeget | = | 1.48.2 | 1.48.2 | |etruecolor | = | 1.29 | 1.29 | |evalcorr | = | 0.7.1 | 0.7.1 | |evlistcomb | = | 4.19.2 | 4.19.2 | |evqpb | = | 0.4.7 | 0.4.7 | |evselect | = | 3.62 | 3.62 | |gtialign | = | 2.10 | 2.10 | |gtimerge | = | 1.7.2 | 1.7.2 | |hkgtigen | = | 1.14.2 | 1.14.2 | |implot | = | 2.19 | 2.19 | |implotregions | > | 0.4 | 1.0 | |implotrgb | = | 2.19 | 2.19 | |imweightadd | = | 1.67 | 1.67 | |lccorr_pcms | = | 1.6.1 | 1.6.1 | |lcplot | = | 1.21 | 1.21 | |merge | = | 0.14 | 0.14 | |odfingest | = | 3.30 | 3.30 | |omatt | = | 2.56.1 | 2.56.1 | |omcomb | = | 2.4.5 | 2.4.5 | |omcosflag | = | 1.33 | 1.33 | |omdetect | = | 5.36.1 | 5.36.1 | |omdrifthist | = | 1.29 | 1.29 | |omfastflat | = | 1.21 | 1.21 | |omfastshift | = | 1.25.1 | 1.25.1 | |omflatfield | = | 2.6.5 | 2.6.5 | |omflatgen | = | 1.12.2 | 1.12.2 | |omlcbuild | = | 1.40 | 1.40 | |ommag | = | 3.11.1 | 3.11.1 | |ommodmap | > | 2.24 | 2.25 | |ommosaic | = | 2.8.1 | 2.8.1 | |omgprep | = | 1.10 | 1.10 | |omgrism | = | 1.25.1 | 1.25.1 | |omgrismplot | = | 1.5.3 | 1.5.3 | |omprep | = | 2.47 | 2.47 | |omqualitymap | = | 1.4 | 1.4 | |omregion | = | 2.14.1 | 2.14.1 | |omsrclistcomb | = | 2.22.2 | 2.22.2 | |ommergelists | = | 1.0.5 | 1.0.5 | |omthconv | = | 1.34.1 | 1.34.1 | |ppsslewsumm | > | 1.1 | 1.2 | |ppssumm | > | 3.5 | 3.6 | |preqgti | = | 0.9 | 0.9 | |region | = | 7.13 | 7.13 | |regionmask | = | 1.67 | 1.67 | |rgsangles | = | 4.8 | 4.8 | |rgsbadpix | = | 2.19.1 | 2.19.1 | |rgsbkgmodel | = | 1.4.1 | 1.4.1 | |rgsbkgmodelTest | = | 1.4.1 | 1.4.1 | |rgsenergy | = | 2.1 | 2.1 | |rgsevents | = | 3.12.3 | 3.12.3 | |rgsfilter | = | 1.18.3 | 1.18.3 | |rgsfluxer | = | 1.9.2 | 1.9.2 | |rgsframes | = | 3.18 | 3.18 | |rgsimplot | = | 1.17.3 | 1.17.3 | |rgslccorr | = | 0.55 | 0.55 | |rgsoffsetcalc | = | 1.18.2 | 1.18.2 | |rgsregions | = | 1.22 | 1.22 | |rgsrmfgen | = | 1.15.6 | 1.15.6 | |rgssources | = | 6.2.2 | 6.2.2 | |rgsspecplot | > | 2.21 | 2.22 | |rgsspectrum | = | 2.8.2 | 2.8.2 | |rmfgen | = | 2.5.1 | 2.5.1 | |slconv | = | 2.5 | 2.5 | |specgroup | = | 1.6 | 1.6 | |srcmatch | = | 3.20 | 3.20 | |tabcalc | = | 2.8 | 2.8 | |tabgtigen | = | 2.12.3 | 2.12.3 | |================|===|=================|============| iii. Calibration Files ====================== Pipeline processing generally accesses an evolving set of CCFs (current calibration files). For each observation, a subset of the full set of CCFs is used in processing that pertains to the epoch of the observation; the CCF components/versions used are identified in the calibration index file (PooooooooooOBX000CALIND0000.FIT) that is included in the delivered observation data product set. The complete list of CCFs used in the processing is given here: Table of valid CCFs at 2017-12-21T02:00:13 |================================|=============|=======| | Calibration File | Issue range | Count | |================================|=============|=======| | EMOS1_ADUCONV | 0070-0086 | 17 | | EMOS1_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_BADPIX | 0025-0039(*)| 13 | | EMOS1_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_CONTAMINATION | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_CTI | 0058-0074 | 17 | | EMOS1_DARKFRAME | 0011-0036 | 26 | | EMOS1_EFFICIENCY | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_FILTERTRANSX | 0015 | 1 | | EMOS1_FWC | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_HKPARMINT | 0008-0011 | 4 | | EMOS1_LINCOORD | 0018 | 1 | | EMOS1_MODEPARAM | 0006 | 1 | | EMOS1_PATTERNLIB | 0005 | 1 | | EMOS1_QUANTUMEF | 0020-0021 | 2 | | EMOS1_REDIST | 0106-0119 | 14 | | EMOS1_SCREENTHRESH | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_TIMECORR | 0003 | 1 | | EMOS2_ADUCONV | 0071-0087 | 17 | | EMOS2_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_BADPIX | 0017-0026(*)| 9 | | EMOS2_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_CONTAMINATION | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_CTI | 0059-0075 | 17 | | EMOS2_DARKFRAME | 0011-0032 | 22 | | EMOS2_EFFICIENCY | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_FILTERTRANSX | 0015 | 1 | | EMOS2_FWC | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_HKPARMINT | 0008-0010 | 3 | | EMOS2_LINCOORD | 0018 | 1 | | EMOS2_MODEPARAM | 0006 | 1 | | EMOS2_PATTERNLIB | 0005 | 1 | | EMOS2_QUANTUMEF | 0020-0021 | 2 | | EMOS2_REDIST | 0106-0119 | 14 | | EMOS2_SCREENTHRESH | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_TIMECORR | 0003 | 1 | | EPN_ADUCONV | 0077-0142(*)| 36 | | EPN_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_BADPIX | 0093-0145 | 53 | | EPN_BUCLOSEDODI | 0001-0005 | 5 | | EPN_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_CTI | 0047 | 1 | | EPN_DARKFRAME | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_EFFICIENCY | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_FILTERTRANSX | 0019 | 1 | | EPN_FWC | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_HKPARMINT | 0005 | 1 | | EPN_LINCOORD | 0009 | 1 | | EPN_MODEPARAM | 0003 | 1 | | EPN_PATTERNLIB | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_QUANTUMEF | 0018 | 1 | | EPN_REDIST | 0012 | 1 | | EPN_REJECT | 0006-0008(*)| 2 | | EPN_TICLOSEDODI | 0001-0013 | 13 | | EPN_TIMECORR | 0011-0015(*)| 4 | | EPN_TIMEJUMPTOL | 0001 | 1 | | OM_ASTROMET | 0012 | 1 | | OM_BADPIX | 0005-0006 | 2 | | OM_COLORTRANS | 0010 | 1 | | OM_DARKFRAME | 0003 | 1 | | OM_DIFFUSEGALA | 0001 | 1 | | OM_GRISMCAL | 0004 | 1 | | OM_HKPARMINT | 0004 | 1 | | OM_LARGESCALESENS | 0002 | 1 | | OM_LINCOORD | 0001 | 1 | | OM_PHOTTONAT | 0006 | 1 | | OM_PIXTOPIXSENS | 0003 | 1 | | OM_PSF1DRB | 0010 | 1 | | OM_QUICKMAG | 0002 | 1 | | OM_ZODIACAL | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_ADUCONV | 0006-0028(*)| 16 | | RGS1_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_BADPIX | 0012-0036(*)| 9 | | RGS1_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_CLOCKPATTERNS | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_COOLPIX | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_CROSSPSF | 0004 | 1 | | RGS1_CTI | 0001-0015(*)| 10 | | RGS1_DARKFRAME | 0005 | 1 | | RGS1_EFFAREACORR | 0012 | 1 | | RGS1_EXAFS | 0005 | 1 | | RGS1_HKPARMINT | 0009-0016(*)| 6 | | RGS1_LINCOORD | 0008 | 1 | | RGS1_LINESPREADFUNC | 0005 | 1 | | RGS1_MODEPARAM | 0004-0005 | 2 | | RGS1_QUANTUMEF | 0015 | 1 | | RGS1_REDIST | 0004 | 1 | | RGS1_SAACORR | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_TEMPLATEBCKGND | 0006 | 1 | | RGS2_ADUCONV | 0006-0034(*)| 18 | | RGS2_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | RGS2_BADPIX | 0012-0033(*)| 8 | | RGS2_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | RGS2_CLOCKPATTERNS | 0001 | 1 | | RGS2_COOLPIX | 0001 | 1 | | RGS2_CROSSPSF | 0004 | 1 | | RGS2_CTI | 0001-0016(*)| 11 | | RGS2_DARKFRAME | 0006 | 1 | | RGS2_EFFAREACORR | 0012 | 1 | | RGS2_EXAFS | 0005 | 1 | | RGS2_HKPARMINT | 0008-0015(*)| 6 | | RGS2_LINCOORD | 0008 | 1 | | RGS2_LINESPREADFUNC | 0005 | 1 | | RGS2_MODEPARAM | 0004-0005 | 2 | | RGS2_QUANTUMEF | 0016 | 1 | | RGS2_REDIST | 0004 | 1 | | RGS2_SAACORR | 0001 | 1 | | RGS2_TEMPLATEBCKGND | 0007-0008 | 2 | | XMM_ABSCOEFS | 0004 | 1 | | XMM_BORESIGHT | 0028 | 1 | | XMM_MISCDATA | 0022 | 1 | | XMM_SPECQUAL | 0002 | 1 | | XRT1_XAREAEF | 0009 | 1 | | XRT1_XENCIREN | 0003 | 1 | | XRT1_XPSF | 0016 | 1 | | XRT2_XAREAEF | 0010 | 1 | | XRT2_XENCIREN | 0003 | 1 | | XRT2_XPSF | 0016 | 1 | | XRT3_XAREAEF | 0012 | 1 | | XRT3_XENCIREN | 0003 | 1 | | XRT3_XPSF | 0018 | 1 | |================================|=============|=======| (*): Incomplete range. Total number of valid CCFs required : 470 iv. Response Matrices ===================== The pipeline accesses a set of canned response matrices (RMFs) which correspond to those issued with the SAS public release used as base for it, here 16.1.0. RMFs used in this pipeline were released January 25th, 2017. EPIC MOS RMFs are defined via a set of epoch-dependent files (14 epochs to date). They are further divided by instrument mode and by detector position - in particular, MOS RMFs are available to reflect the impacts of changes occurring in the core (c) and wings (w) of a small patch known to have suffered degradation, as well as off-patch (o) locations (i.e. everywhere else on the detector). PN RMFs are divided by instrument mode and position along the Y-direction of the CCDs. The canned EPIC response matrices used in the bulk reprocessing are shown below. |====================================| | Canned RMFs | |====================================| | m_e_im_p0_c.rmf | | m_e_im_p0_w.rmf | | m_e_im_p0_o.rmf | | m_e_im_pall_o.rmf | | m_e_im_pall_c.rmf | | m_e_im_pall_w.rmf | | m_e_tu_p0_c.rmf | | m_e_tu_p0_w.rmf | | m_e_tu_p0_o.rmf | | m_e_tu_pall_o.rmf | | m_e_tu_pall_c.rmf | | m_e_tu_pall_w.rmf | | | | epn_e_bu23_dY9_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_bu23_sdY9_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_bu23_sY9_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ef20_dY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ef20_sdY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ef20_sY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ff20_dY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ff20_sdY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ff20_sY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_lw20_dY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_lw20_sdY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_lw20_sY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_dY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sdY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sY_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sdY6_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sY6_v16.0.rmf | | epn_e_ti40_sdY9_v16.0.rmf | |====================================| where = 1 (MOS1) or 2 (MOS2), , i=1-14 (MOS epochs), i=1-3 (PN epochs) and , j=0-9 (Y-positions); , m=5-9 (Y-positions); , n=7-9 (Y-positions); The latest available canned response files are described at, and available from, http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/epic-response-files.

Energy Conversion Factors ============================= EPIC energy conversion factors (ECFs) are used to derive simple flux estimates from measured count rates. The ECFs are computed using the instrument response files for an assumed absorbed power law model with Gamma=1.7 and an absorbing column density of 3x10^20/cm2. ECFs used in pipeline processing are not computed as functions of position or epoch but are fixed values, computed for each EPIC instrument and filter, for each energy band. They are presented in the table below. For PN they are based on the full-frame, on-axis position from epoch 3. For MOS they are based on the Full-frame (imaging) mode, off-patch RMF from epoch 14. Rather than compute an average ECF over time, a single epoch was chosen so as to relate to a specific epoch RMF. The largest epoch-dependence is in band 1 and amounts to a range of about 15%. The off-patch position was chosen to reflect the majority of sources - RMFs for the core and wings of the MOS 'patch' are only relevant to a very small number of objects in the field. In this pipeline, the following fixed energy conversion factors (ECFs) are used: |============|========|============================================================================| | Instrument | Filter | Band | | | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 9 | |============|========|============================================================================| | epn | open | 16.9773 | 10.0691 | 6.1545 | 1.9843 | 0.5778 | 4.1236 | 5.0977 | | epn | thin | 9.5243 | 8.1205 | 5.8670 | 1.9531 | 0.5765 | 3.3242 | 4.5586 | | epn | medium | 8.3692 | 7.8679 | 5.7674 | 1.9297 | 0.5764 | 3.1925 | 4.4604 | | epn | thick | 5.1061 | 6.0478 | 4.9895 | 1.8286 | 0.5694 | 2.5928 | 3.7636 | | emos1 | open | 3.1888 | 2.1888 | 2.1509 | 0.7674 | 0.1490 | 1.0914 | 1.5191 | | emos1 | thin | 1.7812 | 1.8014 | 2.0517 | 0.7557 | 0.1491 | 0.9292 | 1.3963 | | emos1 | medium | 1.5638 | 1.7499 | 2.0175 | 0.7471 | 0.1484 | 0.9000 | 1.3697 | | emos1 | thick | 1.0183 | 1.4197 | 1.7965 | 0.7161 | 0.1475 | 0.7780 | 1.2129 | | emos2 | open | 3.2054 | 2.2019 | 2.1545 | 0.7758 | 0.1580 | 1.1004 | 1.5271 | | emos2 | thin | 1.7758 | 1.8087 | 2.0556 | 0.7637 | 0.1578 | 0.9358 | 1.4029 | | emos2 | medium | 1.5533 | 1.7570 | 2.0205 | 0.7548 | 0.1569 | 0.9060 | 1.3761 | | emos2 | thick | 1.0038 | 1.4237 | 1.7992 | 0.7236 | 0.1556 | 0.7830 | 1.2181 | |============|========|============================================================================| vii.
