XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 - At the end of the last UG meeting, and in line with the conclusions from previous UG meetings, it was highlighted that there is a need for EPIC to progress in the description and treatment of the EPIC-BG - Setting-up (June 05) of EPIC-BG working group: Andy Read (science chair), Jenny Carter, Wolfgang Pietsch, Michael Freyberg, Steve Snowden, Matthias Ehle/Marcus Kirsch (SOC) - Tasks: - Define requirements of BG material (s/w, templates files) useful for general user - Place general user BG material (tools, knowledge, files) on SOC web pages - Organize/monitor necessary work at the PI institutes - Hold regular BG status meetings - Liase with other groups working on BG-critical material EPIC-BG Working Group

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 1)We need to understand the components of the (EPIC) X-ray background 2)We need to reduce as much as we can the (particle/instrumental) components of the X-ray background. This is relevant not just for EPIC, but for future missions also. 3)We need to model as correctly as possible the remaining components of the X-ray background Understand – Reduce – Model EPIC-BG Meeting June/July `05 - Introduction

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 Meetings - Report on BGWG at Calibration Meeting (ESAC, 04/10/05) Apologies - Silvano Molendi - Juan Pradas & Juergen Kerp - Gabriel Pratt (All would like to remain informed/involved and hope to possibly attend the next meeting)

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 Other BG Items - BG Flare rejection - We have recommended in the past, rejection to be made using high- energy (~10-15 keV) lightcurves - Blank-Sky BG event files use conservative thresholds on emchain-, epchain-produced lightcurves (high-energy) - Much BG-proficient research now makes use of not only high- energy lightcurves, but lightcurves over the whole spectrum - Pratt – 3 sigma clipping using high/full/high/full lightcurves (high/full usually sufficient for normal observations) - Temple – 3 sigma clipping using high/full lightcurves - Nevalainen – Hard- and soft-band lightcurves - Pradas & Kerp – Multi-band (0.2-5, 5-8, 8-12 keV) analysis

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 Other BG Tools - BGnearestExp

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 e.g. > BGnearestExp myeventfile.fits Y Y Y S 20 … same instrument, same mode, same filter, exp>40000sec, within 200 Revs, sorted by angular offset distance … Top 20 matches…

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 Closed files - Closed blank-sky (particle) event files also exist (e.g. PM). Where? (I have copies) - SS ? - Collect together? Point to via SOC BG-webpage?

XMM EPIC MOS Andy Read 2 nd EPIC BG WG Meeting MPE, Germany 24/11/05-25/11/05 Blank-Sky Event files - Used extensively. Improvements made and ongoing via users’ suggestions. (AMR blank sky files very much ‘easier to use’ than e.g. Nevalainen files). - Subtle differences in obtained results due to differences in BG cleaning. i.e. due to differences in BG count rate. - Could make BG Blank-sky event files available also in terms of count rate boundaries, e.g. (c.f. Temple, c/s, c/s, c/s). - Also in terms of Galactic latitude (e.g. in Galactic plane and out of Galactic plane).
