Status of the EPIC/MOS calibration
P. Ferrando, A. F. Abbey, B. Altieri +16
The XMM-Newton observatory has the largest collecting area flown so far for an X-ray imaging system, resulting in a very high sensitivity over a broad spectral range. In order to e…
The European Photon Imaging Camera on XMM-Newton: The MOS Cameras
M. J. L. Turner, A. Abbey, M. Arnaud
The EPIC focal plane imaging spectrometers on XMM-Newton use CCDs to record the images and spectra of celestial X-ray sources focused by the three X-ray mirrors. There is one camer…
XMM-Newton First-Light Observations of the Hickson Galaxy Group 16
M. J. L. Turner, J. N. Reeves, T. J. Ponman +7
This paper presents the XMM-Newton first-light observations of the Hickson-16 compact group of galaxies. Groups are possibly the oldest large-scale structures in the Universe, pre-…
The first XMM-Newton spectrum of a high redshift quasar - PKS 0537-286
J. N. Reeves, M. J. L. Turner, P. J. Bennie +6
We present XMM-Newton observations of the high redshift z=3.104, radio-loud quasar PKS 0537-286. The EPIC CCD cameras provide the highest signal-to-noise spectrum of a high-z quasa…
X-ray Measurement of the subpixel structure of the XMM EPIC MOS CCD
H. Tsunemi, K. Yoshita, A. D. Short +3
We report here the results of a mesh experiment to measure the subpixel structure of the EPIC MOS CCDs on board the XMM X-ray observatory. The pixel size is 40m square while the…
Steps toward Determination of the Size and Structure of the Broad-Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei. XII. Ground-Based Monitoring of 3C 390.3
M. Dietrich, B. M. Peterson, P. Albrecht
Results of a ground-based optical monitoring campaign on 3C 390.3 in 1994-95 are presented. The broad-band fluxes (B, V, R, and I), the spectrophotometric optical continuum flux F(…
