XMM-Newton Calibration Portal

This page gives the necessary calibration information for all XMM-Newton instruments (EPIC, RGS, OM) in order that a proper data reduction may be undertaken.

Which files do I need to analyse my XMM-Newton-data with the newest available calibration? What is the current status of the calibration? Where do I get high level information on details of the calibration?
