1 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 A Phenomenological approach to the MOS detector response. Steve Sembay Phenomenological Theory. A theory which expresses mathematically the results of observed phenomena without paying detailed attention to their fundamental significance. i.e. If you don't understand it....describe it !

2 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 Motivation: Develop a descriptive model of the RMF that is computationally quick to generate and provides a “reasonably” accurate description of the spatial and temporal variations observed in the MOS RMF (i.e. the patch) A “quick” RMF makes deriving RMF parameters via optimisation procedures practical and allows one to provide a description for changes to the RMF much more quickly than “manual tweaking” Such a model could be used to inform a more physically realistic model.

8 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 Orsay Data 20 CCDs E input = 350 eV Re-order by strength of loss peak. “Good” “Bad” What if the way the shape changes from “good” to bad” from CCD to CCD (at a given energy) is similar to the way the shape of the loss peak in the patch changes with time on the central CCD (at that energy).

9 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 Position and Size of Loss Component have relatively simple functional forms versus energy 0.73 MOS1 CCD1

10 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 Position of loss peak / position of main peak Fraction of counts in loss peak These two quantities are correlated!

11 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 Position of loss peak / position of main peak Fraction of counts in loss peak These two quantities are correlated!

12 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 The position of the loss peak relative to the main peak (The Epeak parameter) is constant with energy (at least above ~300 eV) The strength of loss peak follows a simple exponential relation with energy. The normalisation of this relation is correlated with Epeak. In this simple descriptive model, a single parameter, Epeak defines the position and strength of the loss peak as a function of energy.

21 XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sfs5@star.le.ac.uk) Mallorca 01/04/09 Conclusions: 1) It is possible to mathematically describe the energy dependent shape of the loss component of the RMF, as observed in our ground cal, with a model which has one dependent parameter = Epeak. (True > 300-350 eV) 2) Deriving Epeak assuming the IACHEC 1E0102 model gives values consistent with that measured at Orsay for off-axis and consistent with our “picture” of the patch for on-axis. 3) What about low energies? Below ~300-350 eV
