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:
