  1. XMM Newtoncross calibration M.G.F. Kirsch, B. Altieri, B.Chen, L. Metcalfe, A.M.T. Pollock, E. Brooks Pollock, M.J.S. Smith,

  2. cross calibration assessment • take various kinds of sources • fit: const(model) where: constpn=1, others free, and model parameters linked • continuum sources: EPIC spectra as start for simultaneous fits • line rich sources: RGS spectra as start for simultaneous fits • compare absolute normalization constants • compare relative spectral features targets • AGN (MK, AP) • Isolated NS (BC) • Stars (AP, MK) • SNR (MS, AP) • Clusters (EBP, BA) const_data1=1 const_data2=0.5 const_data3=0.4 const_data4=0.2 const_data5=0.1

  6. special-extended source • Use as EPIC extraction region the complete RGS apertures: • MOS1 : -2826 < DETX < 2993 • MOS2 -2876 < DETY < 2884 • pn: -3044 < DETY < 2929 • measure flux without vignetting correction • double BG correction applied filtering out low energy flaring for EPIC
