Corrected values are much closer to the MOS.
Epic-Cal 4 Feb 2003 Flux check Richard Saxton XMM-SOC/SSC HWHM: M1/M2=6% M1/PN=14% Band 2 on-axis flux ratio distributions
Epic-Cal 4 Feb 2003 Flux check Richard Saxton XMM-SOC/SSC HWHM: M1/M2=18% M1/PN=17% Band 2 off-axis flux ratio distributions
Epic-Cal 4 Feb 2003 Flux check Richard Saxton XMM-SOC/SSC Summary Mos-2 and PN broad-band fluxes agree to better than 5% at all energies. Mos-2 and PN broad-band fluxes agree to better than 5% at all energies. Mos-1 over-predicts PN by 4-8% above 2 keV Mos-1 over-predicts PN by 4-8% above 2 keV and Mos-2 by ~4% higher flux above 4.5 keV – possibly and Mos-2 by ~4% higher flux above 4.5 keV – possibly needs a further QE tweak needs a further QE tweak The Mos-1/Mos-2 distribution gets significantly wider off- axis The Mos-1/Mos-2 distribution gets significantly wider off- axis The Mos-1/PN distribution has a sigma 2.5 times The Mos-1/PN distribution has a sigma 2.5 times wider than that of the Mos-1/Mos-2 distribution. wider than that of the Mos-1/Mos-2 distribution..
