Full release note for ppsprod-19.16 =================================== Pipeline Version: 19.16_20210326_1200 Pipeline name: ppsprod Release Date: 2021-03-26 SAS Manifest: xmmsas_20210310_1620 Summary ======= This version of the pipeline is based on public SAS19 version and does not include major changes related to source detection although the method to filter flaring background periods in observations with multiple exposures in a given EPIC has been modified (see below). Improvements in calibrations are not listed here as they can be found in SAS and/or CCFs release notes. Only the main changes that result in new products or modifications to the content of existing ones are listed here: i) a new product is included for sources that might suffer pile-up effects in EPIC-pn camera. A file with multiple spectra (OGIP compliant) is created with i.1 only single events in the nominal circular source extraction region i.2 only double events in the nominal circular source extraction region i.3 single and double events in a series of annular extraction regions with increasing core excising radius. ii) the same threshold level is applied to all exposures of the same EPIC camera within the same observation. In-band background light curves from the individual exposures are combined to find the threshold level that optimizes the detection of the weakest sources iii) lightcurves of OM sources detected in Fast Mode windows in multiple exposures are combined into a single plot and FITS file. iv) OM rates are saved in an OGIP compliant PHA spectrum file for sources identified as possible counterpart of an EPIC source. v) for EPIC sources having OM sources within their position error circle a plot is created with the EPIC fluxes in the 5 standard energy bands and the fluxes of the OM sources through the available OM filters. The file with the plot also includes images of the OM in all available filters within the EPIC source error circle and the corresponding EPIC 3-colour image. The version of SAS being used is a pipeline-specific manifest xmmsas_20210310_1620. This is based on the public SAS release 19.0.0, described at http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/sas-release-notes-1900 Documentation ============= Documentation for this pipeline can be found at: http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/pipeline and links therein.

|=============|==================================================|===========|=========|==============|========|==============| The files from the CAT* classes, are products generated by the 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_20210310_1620. This manifest is built upon the version 19.0.0 release of the SAS (manifest xmmsas_20201028_0905 - see http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/sas-release-notes-1900. 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 19.0.0. The second column indicates whether the task has a newer (>) or the same (=) version number in the pipeline version. |================|===|=================|============| | TASK | | SAS 19.0.0 | 19.15 | |================|===|=================|============| |addattribute | = | 2.3 | 2.3 | |arfgen | = | 1.98.4 | 1.98.4 | |attcalc | = | 4.39 | 4.39 | |attfilter | = | 4.39 | 4.39 | |attbin | = | 1.5 | 1.5 | |atthkgen | = | 1.22.1 | 1.22.1 | |attmove | = | 1.6 | 1.6 | |backscale | = | 1.6 | 1.6 | |badpix | = | 2.33 | 2.33 | |badpixfind | = | 1.41 | 1.41 | |bkgoptrate | = | 1.8.1 | 1.8.1 | |catcorr | = | 0.11.1 | 0.11.1 | |catprep | = | 0.5.4 | 0.5.4 | |cifbuild | = | 4.9 | 4.9 | |dpssflag | = | 11.6 | 11.6 | |dpsssrc | = | 1.2.1 | 1.2.1 | |dscopyblock | = | 1.11.1 | 1.11.1 | |dscp | = | 1.11.1 | 1.11.1 | |dsrm | = | 1.11.1 | 1.11.1 | |eboxdetect | = | 4.28.3 | 4.28.3 | |ebkgreg | = | 0.8 | 0.8 | |echeckregion | = | 1.54 | 1.54 | |ecoordconv | = | 1.54 | 1.54 | |eexpmap | = | 4.12 | 4.12 | |efftplot | = | 2.21 | 2.21 | |ekstest | = | 2.8 | 2.8 | |elcplot | = | 2.6 | 2.6 | |emask | = | 2.16 | 2.16 | |embadpixfind | = | 2.6.1 | 2.6.1 | |emenergy | = | 8.9 | 8.9 | |emevents | = | 8.8 | 8.8 | |emeventsproj | = | 1.6 | 1.6 | |emframes | = | 5.11 | 5.11 | |emldetect | = | 7.6.2 | 7.6.2 | |emosaic | = | 1.19 | 1.19 | |emtaglenoise | = | 1.3 | 1.3 | |eootepileupmask | = | 2.10.1 | 2.10.1 | |epatplot | = | 1.22 | 1.22 | |epevents | = | 6.55 | 6.55 | |epexposure | = | 0.16 | 0.16 | |epfast | = | 0.7 | 0.7 | |epframes | = | 8.116 | 8.116 | |epiclccorr | = | 1.23.1 | 1.23.1 | |epproc | = | 2.24.3 | 2.24.3 | |eposcorr | = | 3.13 | 3.13 | |epreject | = | 5.18.1 | 5.18.1 | |epnoise | = | 0.9 | 0.9 | |esensmap | = | 3.13 | 3.13 | |eslewchain | = | 1.17.1 | 1.17.1 | |eslewsearch | = | 1.17.1 | 1.17.1 | |esources | = | 1.5 | 1.5 | |especget | = | 1.54 | 1.54 | |esplinemap | = | 5.3.1 | 5.3.1 | |etimeget | = | 1.54 | 1.54 | |etruecolor | = | 1.30.1 | 1.30.1 | |evalcorr | = | 0.8 | 0.8 | |evlistcomb | = | 4.20 | 4.20 | |evqpb | = | 0.6.4 | 0.6.4 | |evselect | = | 3.71.1 | 3.71.1 | |gtialign | = | 2.11 | 2.11 | |gtimerge | = | 1.8 | 1.8 | |hkgtigen | = | 1.15 | 1.15 | |implot | = | 2.20 | 2.20 | |implotregions | = | 1.1 | 1.1 | |implotrgb | = | 2.20 | 2.20 | |imweightadd | = | 1.68 | 1.68 | |lccorr_pcms | = | 1.7 | 1.7 | |lcplot | = | 1.22.1 | 1.22.1 | |merge | = | 0.15 | 0.15 | |odfingest | = | 3.32.1 | 3.32.1 | |om2pha | = | 0.4 | 0.4 | |omatt | = | 2.57.1 | 2.57.1 | |omcomb | = | 2.5 | 2.5 | |omcosflag | = | 1.35 | 1.35 | |omdetect | = | 5.41 | 5.41 | |omdrifthist | = | 1.30.1 | 1.30.1 | |omfastflat | = | 1.22 | 1.22 | |omfastshift | = | 1.26 | 1.26 | |omflatfield | = | 2.7 | 2.7 | |omflatgen | = | 1.13 | 1.13 | |omlcbuild | = | 1.41 | 1.41 | |ommag | = | 3.12 | 3.12 | |ommodmap | = | 2.26 | 2.26 | |ommosaic | = | 2.10 | 2.10 | |omgprep | = | 1.11.1 | 1.11.1 | |omgrism | = | 1.29 | 1.29 | |omgrismplot | = | 1.7 | 1.7 | |omprep | = | 2.48 | 2.48 | |omqualitymap | = | 1.5 | 1.5 | |omregion | = | 2.15 | 2.15 | |omsrclistcomb | = | 2.23 | 2.23 | |ommergelists | = | 1.1 | 1.1 | |omthconv | = | 1.35 | 1.35 | |orbit | = | 2.12 | 2.12 | |ppsslewsumm | = | 1.3 | 1.3 | |ppssumm | = | 3.7 | 3.7 | |preqgti | = | 0.10.1 | 0.10.1 | |radmonfix | = | 0.5.2 | 0.5.2 | |region | = | 7.15.2 | 7.15.2 | |regionmask | = | 1.68 | 1.68 | |rgsangles | = | 4.9 | 4.9 | |rgsbadpix | = | 2.20 | 2.20 | |rgsbkgmodel | = | 1.5.1 | 1.5.1 | |rgsbkgmodelTest | = | 1.5.1 | 1.5.1 | |rgsenergy | = | 2.2 | 2.2 | |rgsevents | = | 3.13 | 3.13 | |rgsfilter | = | 1.19 | 1.19 | |rgsfluxer | = | 1.10 | 1.10 | |rgsframes | = | 3.19 | 3.19 | |rgsimplot | = | 1.18 | 1.18 | |rgslccorr | = | 0.57.1 | 0.57.1 | |rgsoffsetcalc | = | 1.19 | 1.19 | |rgsregions | = | 1.23 | 1.23 | |rgsrmfgen | = | 1.17 | 1.17 | |rgssources | = | 6.3 | 6.3 | |rgsspecplot | = | 2.23 | 2.23 | |rgsspectrum | = | 2.9 | 2.9 | |rmfgen | = | 2.8.2 | 2.8.2 | |slconv | = | 2.6.1 | 2.6.1 | |specgroup | = | 1.7 | 1.7 | |srcmatch | = | 3.22.1 | 3.22.1 | |tabcalc | = | 2.9 | 2.9 | |tabgtigen | = | 2.13 | 2.13 | |================|===|=================|============| 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 2021-03-23T00:30:02 |================================|=============|=======| | Calibration File | Issue range | Count | |================================|=============|=======| | EMOS1_ADUCONV | 0087-0111 | 25 | | EMOS1_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_BADPIX | 0025-0039(*)| 13 | | EMOS1_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_CONTAMINATION | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_CTI | 0075-0099 | 25 | | EMOS1_DARKFRAME | 0011-0037 | 27 | | EMOS1_EFFICIENCY | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_FILTERTRANSX | 0015 | 1 | | EMOS1_FWC | 0003 | 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 | 0106-0120(*)| 14 | | EMOS1_SCREENTHRESH | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS1_TIMECORR | 0003 | 1 | | EMOS2_ADUCONV | 0088-0115 | 28 | | EMOS2_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_BADPIX | 0017-0026(*)| 9 | | EMOS2_CALSOURCEDATA | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_CONTAMINATION | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_CTI | 0076-0103 | 28 | | EMOS2_DARKFRAME | 0011-0033 | 23 | | EMOS2_EFFICIENCY | 0001 | 1 | | EMOS2_FILTERTRANSX | 0015 | 1 | | EMOS2_FWC | 0003 | 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 | 0106-0120(*)| 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 | 0053-0054 | 2 | | EPN_DARKFRAME | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_EFFICIENCY | 0001 | 1 | | EPN_FILTERTRANSX | 0019 | 1 | | EPN_FWC | 0003 | 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 | 0007-0008 | 2 | | OM_COLORTRANS | 0010 | 1 | | OM_DARKFRAME | 0003 | 1 | | OM_DIFFUSEGALA | 0001 | 1 | | OM_GRISMCAL | 0006 | 1 | | OM_HKPARMINT | 0004 | 1 | | OM_LARGESCALESENS | 0002 | 1 | | OM_LINCOORD | 0001 | 1 | | OM_PHOTTONAT | 0008 | 1 | | OM_PIXTOPIXSENS | 0003 | 1 | | OM_PSF1DRB | 0010 | 1 | | OM_QUICKMAG | 0002 | 1 | | OM_ZODIACAL | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_ADUCONV | 0006-0029(*)| 17 | | RGS1_BACKGROUND | 0001 | 1 | | RGS1_BADPIX | 0012-0039(*)| 11 | | 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 | 0014 | 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 | 0014 | 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 | 0031 | 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 : 515 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 19.0.0. RMFs used in this pipeline were released March 24th, 2021. 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_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_bu23_sdY9_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_bu23_sY9_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ef20_dY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ef20_sdY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ef20_sY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ff20_dY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ff20_sdY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ff20_sY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_lw20_dY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_lw20_sdY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_lw20_sY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_dY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sdY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sY_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sdY6_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_sw20_sY6_v18.0.rmf | | epn_e_ti40_sdY9_v18.0.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 | 16.9774 | 10.0692 | 6.1545 | 1.9841 | 0.5779 | 4.1236 | 5.0979 | | epn | thin | 9.5246 | 8.1210 | 5.8668 | 1.9527 | 0.5769 | 3.3243 | 4.5585 | | epn | medium | 8.3693 | 7.8679 | 5.7674 | 1.9293 | 0.5764 | 3.1924 | 4.4604 | | epn | thick | 5.1063 | 6.0477 | 4.9895 | 1.8287 | 0.5692 | 2.5928 | 3.7637 | | emos1 | open | 3.1882 | 2.1889 | 2.1509 | 0.7676 | 0.1495 | 1.0916 | 1.5193 | | emos1 | thin | 1.7812 | 1.8011 | 2.0520 | 0.7553 | 0.1490 | 0.9290 | 1.3963 | | emos1 | medium | 1.5633 | 1.7499 | 2.0175 | 0.7469 | 0.1486 | 0.9000 | 1.3701 | | emos1 | thick | 1.0183 | 1.4196 | 1.7961 | 0.7162 | 0.1475 | 0.7779 | 1.2129 | | emos2 | open | 3.2054 | 2.2021 | 2.1546 | 0.7757 | 0.1577 | 1.1003 | 1.5271 | | emos2 | thin | 1.7751 | 1.8088 | 2.0556 | 0.7640 | 0.1576 | 0.9358 | 1.4029 | | emos2 | medium | 1.5525 | 1.7571 | 2.0202 | 0.7551 | 0.1571 | 0.9060 | 1.3764 | | emos2 | thick | 1.0038 | 1.4237 | 1.7991 | 0.7235 | 0.1554 | 0.7829 | 1.2180 | |============|========|============================================================================| vii.
