3. XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sse@star.le.ac.uk) EPIC Calibration Meeting Ringberg 2-5/April/2002 Analysis Method: •Define non-piled-up annulus from MOS1 data (use same for MOS2, pn). •Generate appropriate arf correction files. •Extract source and background spectra (although background mostly negligible) in the 0.2-10 keV band. •Fit phabs * bknp model to MOS2 data…fold model through MOS1, MOS2 and pn instrument response. •Fit phabs * bknp model to pn data…fold model through MOS1, MOS2 and pn instrument response. •Examine DATA/MODEL ratio plots for trends. •Examine best-fit model parameters to instruments fitted individually.

13. XMM EPIC MOS Steve Sembay (sse@star.le.ac.uk) EPIC Calibration Meeting Ringberg 2-5/April/2002 Q20 - Q21 increases relative difference between model fits to MOS1 and MOS2 data in the high energy band. Q21 residuals better than Q20 in 2-3 keV band. Both MOS and PN show consistent residual features at different energies indicating narrow band calibration problems. MOS1 Thick filter calibration is incorrect. Energy correction due to PSF creates an increasing discrepancy between MOS1 and MOS2 as extraction radius increases. There is a systematic broad band difference between MOS and PN which is independent of Mode/Filter/Extraction radius. Interim Conclusions What do the spectral parameters tell us ?
