The origin of the unfocused XMM-Newton background, its variability and lessons learned for ATHENA
Fabio Gastaldello, Martino Marelli, Silvano Molendi +7
We analyzed the unexposed to the sky outFOV region of the MOS2 detector on board XMM-Newton covering 15 years of data amounting to 255 Ms. We show convincing evidence that the orig…
Analysis of the unconcentrated background of the EPIC-pn camera on board XMM-Newton
Martino Marelli, Silvano Molendi, Mariachiara Rossetti +8
Our understanding of the background of the EPIC/pn camera onboard XMM-Newton is incomplete. This affects the study of extended sources and can influence the predictions of the back…
Chandra ACIS-I particle background: an analytical model
Iacopo Bartalucci, Pasquale Mazzotta, Hervé Bourdin +1
Aims: Imaging and spectroscopy of X-ray extended sources require a proper characterisation of a spatially unresolved background signal. This background includes sky and instrumenta…
