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
