PN specific – Offset tables · No fixed offset tables used for PN. ·

PN specific – Offset tables · No fixed offset tables used for PN. · Dump of the offset table inserted before the Start of the Observation: + offset data information always present for an observation - increased overhead: – ~7 minutes for FF, Ext. FF, LW – 45 seconds for SW, Ti and Burst · Repetition number changed from 100 to 50 for FF. XMM-Newton Mallorca, 1 st of February 2005 Page 3

PN specific – EPCE unit · EPCE experienced an autonomous warm reboot in rev.

PN specific – EPCE unit · EPCE experienced an autonomous warm reboot in rev. 841: – Visible through a drop of the currents of the quadrant-dedicated converters in the EPVC – EPCE runs PROM version => reboot autonomous and smooth. No impact on science. – Investigations => same problem in rev. 741 · Actions: – NCR#114 raised – Explanation: SEU that stopped the code – Creation of a DP that detects any EPCE reboot(based on the parameter that counts the warm boot) XMM-Newton Mallorca, 1 st of February 2005 Page 4

MOS specific – EMDH K · EMDH K successfully tested in flight and definitely uploaded in rev. 807. · EMDH K improvements: – Ability to upload up to 250 bright pixels instead of 50 with version J+ – Cover the possible impact of the failure of the CCD extended range temperature sensor XMM-Newton Mallorca, 1 st of February 2005 Page 5

MOS specific – THIN 1 filter assessment · Low energy patch observed on a bright source · Test to check whether this patch is due to a filter degradation (otherwise CCD degradation): – In rev. 900, on 1 ES 0102 -72 – Filter wheel moved by 20 steps away from the THIN 1 position, in the opposite direction to the calibration source. · THIN 1 filter does not show degradation of its most exposed area.

MOS specific – filter wheel sanity check · Routine control of the filters sanity

MOS specific – filter wheel sanity check · Routine control of the filters sanity (degradation, micro holes, …) · Diagnostic Reset Per Pixel mode used XMM-Newton Mallorca, 1 st of February 2005 Page 7

SCOS 2000 · XMM-Newton shall be operated with SCOS 2000 · Rev. 940, fully executed via SCOS 2000 (TC, TM) – All modes have been planned – TM comparisons with respect to SCOS 1, FITS file comparison · Next rev. = rev. 954 · Expected to switch to SCOS 2000 in phase 3 by April 2005 · Definite use of SCOS 2000 (phase 4) 3 months later (July 2005) XMM-Newton Mallorca, 1 st of February 2005 Page 8
