Summary Statistical analysis of EPIC flux cross-calibration in agreement with results from bright calibration objects –M2-M1 flux differences ≤5% for all energy bands –pn-MOS differences ≤10% for energy bands 1-4 and ≤15% for energy band 5 ( keV) See dependence of EPIC flux cross-calibration with off- axis sources Small time dependence of EPIC flux cross-calibration –except for M2-M1 energy band 1
