Details of the observation and exposures (11 columns)

OBS_ID (10A)
The XMM-Newton observation identification.
REVOLUT (4A) [orbit]
The XMM-Newton revolution number.
MJD_START (D) [d]
Modified Julian Date (i.e., JD - 2400000.5) of the start of the observation.
MJD_STOP (D) [d]
Modified Julian Date (i.e., JD - 2400000.5) of the end of the observation.
OBS_CLASS (J)
Quality classification of the whole observation based on the area flagged as bad in the manual flagging process as compared to the whole detection area, see 2XMM UG Sec. 3.2.6. 0 means nothing has been flagged; 1 indicates that 0% < area < 0.1% of the total detection mask has been flagged; 2 indicates that 0.1% <= area < 1% has been flagged; 3 indicates that 1% <= area < 10% has been flagged; 4 indicates that 10% <= area < 100% has been flagged; and 5 means that the whole field was flagged as bad.
PN_FILTER (6A)
PN filter. The options are Thick, Medium, Thin1, Thin2, and Open, depending on the efficiency of the optical blocking. (For a detailed description see 3.3.6 EPIC filters and effective area in the User Handbook.
M1_FILTER (6A)
M1 filter. The options are Thick, Medium, Thin1, and Open, depending on the efficiency of the optical blocking, (For a detailed description see 3.3.6 EPIC filters and effective area in the User Handbook).
M2_FILTER (6A)
M2 filter. The options are Thick, Medium, Thin1, and Open, depending on the efficiency of the optical blocking, (For a detailed description see 3.3.6 EPIC filters and effective area in the User Handbook).
PN_SUBMODE (23A)
PN observing mode. The options are full frame mode with the full FOV exposed (in two sub-modes), and large window mode with only parts of the FOV exposed, see Tab. 2.3. For a detailed description see 3.3.2 Science modes of the EPIC cameras in the User Handbook.
M1_SUBMODE (16A)
M1 observing mode. The options are full frame mode with the full FOV exposed, partial window mode with only parts of the central CCD exposed (in different sub-modes, see Tab. 2.3), and timing mode where the central CCD was not exposed ('Fast Uncompressed'). For a detailed description see 3.3.2 Science modes of the EPIC cameras in the User Handbook.
M2_SUBMODE (16A)
M2 observing mode. The options are full frame mode with the full FOV exposed, partial window mode with only parts of the central CCD exposed (in different sub-modes, see Tab. 2.3), and timing mode where the central CCD was not exposed ('Fast Uncompressed'). For a detailed description see 3.3.2 Science modes of the EPIC cameras in the User Handbook.
