Properties of the background of EPIC - pn onboard XMM - Newton
We have investigated the background properties of EPIC-pn onboard XMM-Newton to establish the background subtraction method. Count rates of the background vary violently by two orders of magnitude at the maximum, while during the most quiet period, these are stable within 8 % at a 1 σ level. The overall spectrum is dominated by particle events above 5 keV, and its spatial variation is also foun...
متن کاملXmm - Newton Observations of the Diffuse X - ray Background
We analyzed two XMM-Newton observations in the direction of the high density, high latitude, neutral hydrogen cloud MBM20 and of a nearby low density region that we called the Eridanus hole. The cloud MBM20 is at a distance evaluated between 100 and 200 pc from the Sun and its density is sufficiently high to shield about 75% of the foreground emission in the 3/4 keV energy band. The combination...
متن کاملStudying the Cosmic X-ray Background with Xmm-newton
We present a work in progress aimed at measuring the spectrum of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) with the EPIC detectors onboard XMM-Newton. Our study includes a detailed characterization of the EPIC non X-ray background, which is crucial in making a robust measurement of the spectrum of CXB. We present preliminary results, based on the analysis of a set of Commissioning and Performance Verif...
متن کاملThe XMM - Newton EPIC Background and the production of Background Blank Sky Event Files ⋆
Aims. We describe in detail the nature of XMM-Newton EPIC background and its various complex components, summarising the new findings of the XMM-Newton EPIC background working group, and provide XMM-Newton background blank sky event files for use in the data analysis of diffuse and extended sources. Methods. Blank sky event file data sets are produced from the stacking of data, taken from 189 o...
متن کاملX-ray background measurements with XMM-Newton EPIC
We discuss the methods used to compile a high signal-to-noise dataset representative of both the instrumental and cosmic background signal measured at high galactic latitude by the XMM-Newton EPIC cameras. The characteristics of the EPIC background are described and the potential applications of the derived dataset in general science analysis are outlined. In the case of the cosmic X-ray backgr...
