Update of EPIC pn long-term monitoring

This meeting in Mallorca, Spain, in March 31 - April 1, 2009, focused on EPIC CCD monitoring and calibration, including discussions on energy resolution before and after satellite contact losses for Al-K and Mn-K, charge transfer inefficiency, and FWHM for different CCDs and energy levels. Trends in CTI and FF for EPIC CCDs were analyzed from 2000 to 2009, showing improvements in performance over the years with specific attention to energy resolution and quadrant FWHM measurements for Mn-K and Al-K. The meeting emphasized the importance of long-term monitoring and calibration practices for maintaining data quality in astronomical observations.
