XMM-NEWTON USERS' GROUP MEETING #22: INVITATION FROM THE UG CHAIR

The XMM-Newton Users' Group will be holding its yearly meeting this coming June 9th and 10th.

As is usual, the UG welcomes all comments and suggestions on any relevant aspect of XMM-Newton operations and future direction.

You may send these either directly to me, or if you prefer to any member of the UG, before May 28th.

 

Rudy Wijnands, UG-Chair

 

The agenda for UG Meeting #21 and contact information of the UG chair and all the other UG members are available at

PFLIX, A PORTABLE VERSION OF THE FLIX SOFTWARE AVAILABLE

Pflix, a portable version of the FLIX web-service hosted at Leicester University is now available for download.

Pflix estimates flux upper-limits for positions in EPIC pointed fields. It can be compiled with gfortran to run on different operating systems (Linux, MacOS, or Windows). It gets the data files directly from the ESAC servers, so has access to all the currently public observations.

For details, including a download link see

Yours sincerely,
