OperationsOperations Scan over the Galactic plane at 30 degs/hour Orbit 1242 - 16 legs covering 45 x ~0.5 degs with 15 arcmin overlap between legs ~200 sq degs Open loop slew for 1.5 hours, followed by closed-loop slew of 17 mins to set position to start of next leg. Nominal Manually intensive to plan Drift was very small, typical offset was 2 arc mins Gives effectively a 1ks pointed obs at the end of each slew leg Closed slew data not available this time because of PN DLI

Extension=12” in slew direction due to frame time of 400 ms – actually24” extension because of800 ms clocking.

• PSF needs to be modeled fully for correct ARF• Experience with PN eFF mode (18” extension) shows that sources are still found but are falsely flagged as extended

MOS positions also generally ok to a few arc secs

30-40% unknown sources, brightest=1.8 c/s (pn) [F=5E-12]

Standard edetect_chain issues:

- Many false “Halo” sources around bright sources- eexpmap took ~ 0.5 hours / 1 deg image for 0.1s resolution drove the processing schedule

SummarySummary PN – no surprises MOS – work to do with s/w, calibration and CCFs Great for mapping large extended sources Probe flux levels intermediate between XMMSL1and dedicated short pointings Covers 200 deg2 in 1 revolution Position error is ~4 arcsecs – similar to pointed obs forlow count sources
