XMM-Newton Observation Selection Description


  • Items you can request are:
    • Proposal Number (PPPPPP): Entries in this field of 6 or less digits are considered as a Proposal Number (leading 0's are added if needed to complete the required length for a Proposal).
    • Observation Number (PPPPPPOBID): Entries in this field longer than 6 digits are considered as an Observation Number (leading 0's are added if needed to complete the required length for an Observation).
    • Revolution Number (RRRR): (leading 0's are added if needed to complete the required length for a Revolution). Available revs are provided at the top of the form.

  • Output data
    • Number of matches found for your query in the List of Scheduled Observations
    • For each match (i.e: Observation):
      • Scheduled Observation Number
      • Name of the Target (as entered in the Proposal)
      • RA of the Target
      • DEC of the Target
      • Position Angle for the Observation
      • Scheduled Observation duration (in seconds)
      • Scheduled Observation Start Time (GMT)
      • Scheduled Observation End Time (GMT)
      • Revolution when the Observation was scheduled
      • Prime Instrument (IB is used to denote Instrument/Aperture)
    • For each Scheduled Exposure in the Observation:
      • Instrument
      • Filter (when applicable)
      • Exposure Mode
      • Exposure Identifier (last 3 digits)
      • Scheduled Exposure Start Time (without year)
      • Scheduled Exposure duration (in seconds)
    • A summary section for each Instrument used:
      • Instrument
      • Sum of all above exposures for the given Instrument
    • Entries to be provided in the future:
      • Comments: Comment on the general outcome of the observation (e.g.: Nominally executed, Not executed, Partially executed, ...)
      • Actual time used by the Instrument: This will be filled in after evaluation of the RT events
      • Percentage of Actual time vs. Scheduled Time

  • Sample Output:
