11. Oct 25-27 2006 EPIC cal, Mallorca MOS 3x3 slew survey 11 Current problems  FLAGs – currently all events marked bad  All frames are marked as ‘extended’ because not enough time to read a frame while next one is looking at the sky (need 500ms?)  E3/E4 background determination problematic  Bad pixels need remapping onto 203x201 grid ?  Pattern 0 only - but need to calculate pattern fractions  Position errors of a few arc minutes

13. Oct 25-27 2006 EPIC cal, Mallorca MOS 3x3 slew survey 13 Hardness ratios The bulk spectral properties of the EPIC_pn catalogue detections. HR1 = (F2 - F1) / (F2 + F1) HR2 = (F3 - F2) / (F3 + F2) HR3 = (F4 - F3) / (F4 + F3) Left panels are for high galactic latitude, right panels are for low galactic latitude.
