The 2005 Project

Introduction

In 2005 six young scientists participated once again in a trainee programme within the XMM-Newton project. The project took place at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), contributing to the XMM-Newton satellite mission.

The project was split into three project lines addressing different topics such as XMM-Newton timing data anlysis, calibration investigations and the processing of XMM-Newton slew data.

Detailed reports will be presented in the proceedings of the "The X-ray Universe 2005" Symposium and are also available here:
