Full release note for ppsprod-18.00
===================================

Pipeline Version: 18.00_20191217_1110
Pipeline name: ppsprod
Release Date: 2019-12-17
SAS Manifest: xmmsas_20191120_1210



Summary
=======
This version of the pipeline is basically the one used to reprocess
all archival data available up to 2019. The few changes in SAS
routines versions only reflect the upgrade to public SAS18 version.

Since the reprocessed observaions public before April 2019 have been
used for a major version of the EPIC Serendipitous Source Catalogue
(SSC), the changes outlined below refer to the pipeline used for
previous major version of the SSC catalogue, some of them were already
introduced in previous pipeline versions.  Improvements in
calibrations are not listed here as they can be found in SAS and/or
CCFs release notes.

i) Extraction of source-specific products (SSP) (time-series and
spectra) for individual sources has undergone a major revision.  The
size of the source extraction region is still optimized according to
the brightness of the source, but the region to estimate the
associated background is now restricted to the same CCD where the
center of the source is found, except for MOS SW modes, where an
annulus over the peripheral CCDs is chosen. PNG files with source and
background extraction regions overlaid on count images are also new
SSP products.

In the case of EPIC-pn Timing mode data the location of the source 
in RAWX coordinate is determined as the 
location of maximum of the RAWX histogram. The source extraction region 
extends 9 RAWX columns on side of the source location and the 
background region is fixed to RAWX in [2,6]. If the source and background 
extraction regions are found to overlap or there are less than 100 counts 
in the histogram, the source products are not created. In the case of 
very strong spectra this method may produce a background with significant 
contribution of the source at certain energies. 

ii) EPIC lightcurves are produced per energy band for all exposures. 
A new FITS file is available under the PPS products per EPIC instrument
and observation which contains lightcurves for all the available 
exposures in the energy bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8. For TIMING mode 
information is given in the energy bands 2, 3, 4 and 9. 
The time bin size for PN Light Curves has been fixed to 20 times
the frametime of the corresponding exposure mode. For MOS1/2 the
method to fix the time bin size according the mean count rate has
not been modified. Given the low count number per bin in most EPIC-pn 
lightcurves the variability tests are computed on lightcurves rebinned
to an average of 20 counts per bin and the results of the tests are 
saved in the header of the small time bin PPS product.

iii) The method to estimate the background in EPIC images has been 
changed from splines interpolation to local smoothing of source free
regions. The new method in combination of an extra call to embadpixfind
task yield a reasonable compromise between detection number and spurious
content. 

iv) Special flagging has been included for sources detected in OM low
sensitivity patch.

v) Quiescent particle background (estimated from Filter-Wheel-Closed 
repository) and EPIC-pn out of time events are subtracted from EPIC 
coloured images.

Other minor changes related to general info about observations
environment are

a) new PPS file with spacecraft orbit information as Geocentric Equatorial 
J2000 and Geocentric Solar Ecliptic coordinates

b) new PPS file with Radiation Monitor count rates

The files from the CAT* classes, are products generated by the Archival Catalogue and Database
Subsystem (ACDS) at the Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg (OAS) - they are the result of
cross-correlations of XMM sources with archival catalogues by the ACDS. They have been made
previously but are outlined here for the first time. Those files with xxxxa tags are generated
for each external catalogue that the XMM sources are correlated with.



ii. SAS Tasks
=============

The current pipeline uses a pipeline-specific SAS manifest xmmsas_20191120_1210.
This manifest is built upon the version 18.0.0 release of the SAS
(manifest xmmsas_20190531_1155 - see
http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/sas-release-notes-1800.
for details of the SAS task versions and changes relative to the previous
SAS releases) but includes a number of specific task patches.

SAS tasks used in the current pipeline are shown in the table below, along with
their respective versions in SAS 18.0.0. The second column indicates
whether the task has a newer (>) or the same (=) version number in the
pipeline version.

iii. Calibration Files
======================

Pipeline processing generally accesses an evolving set of CCFs (current
calibration files). For each observation, a subset of the full set of CCFs
is used in processing that pertains to the epoch of the observation; the
CCF components/versions used are identified in the calibration index file
(PooooooooooOBX000CALIND0000.FIT) that is included in the delivered
observation data product set.

The complete list of CCFs used in the processing is given here:

iv. Response Matrices
=====================
The pipeline accesses a set of canned response matrices (RMFs) which
correspond to those issued with the SAS public release used as base for it, here 18.0.0.
RMFs used in this pipeline were released November 20th, 2019.

EPIC MOS RMFs are defined via a set of epoch-dependent files (14 epochs to date). 
They are further divided by instrument mode and by detector position - in particular,
MOS RMFs are available to reflect the impacts of changes occurring in the core (c) and
wings (w) of a small patch known to have suffered degradation, as well as
off-patch (o) locations (i.e. everywhere else on the detector).
PN RMFs are divided by instrument mode and position along the Y-direction of the CCDs.

The canned EPIC response matrices used in the bulk reprocessing are shown below.

v. Energy Bands
===============

|======|===================|
| Band | Energy Range (eV) |
|======|===================|
| 1    |   200 -   500     |
| 2    |   500 -  1000     |
| 3    |  1000 -  2000     |
| 4    |  2000 -  4500     |
| 5    |  4500 - 12000     |
| 8    |   200 - 12000     |
| 9    |   500 -  4500     |
|======|===================|



vi. Energy Conversion Factors
=============================


EPIC energy conversion factors (ECFs) are used to derive simple flux 
estimates from measured count rates. The ECFs are computed using the instrument 
response files for an assumed absorbed power law model with 
Gamma=1.7 and an absorbing column density of 3x10^20/cm2. 

ECFs used in pipeline processing are not computed as functions of
position or epoch but are fixed values, computed for each EPIC
instrument and filter, for each energy band. They are presented in the
table below. For PN they are based on the full-frame, on-axis
position from epoch 3. For MOS they are based on the Full-frame (imaging) mode,
off-patch RMF from epoch 14. Rather than compute an average ECF over time,
a single epoch was chosen so as to relate to a specific epoch RMF. The largest 
epoch-dependence is in band 1 and amounts to a range of about 15%. The
off-patch position was chosen to reflect the majority of sources -
RMFs for the core and wings of the MOS 'patch' are only relevant to a
very small number of objects in the field.

In this pipeline, the following fixed energy conversion factors (ECFs) are 
used:

vii. Source Position Rectification
==================================

In the bulk reprocessing, astrometric field rectification (where possible) is performed against extracts from 
the USNO-B1.0, SDSS-DR9 or 2MASS catalogues as the astrometric reference frame.
