ObsID
A unique XMM-Newton observation identifier made up of the proposal number,
target number of the proposal, and exposure number of the target.
PNo
The XMM-Newton proposal number to which the observation belongs. Note that
the proposal number is the first six digits of the ObsID number.
Name
The name of the target of the XMM-Newton pointing.
RA
The nominal right ascension of the XMM-Newton pointing, in the requested
equinox. Notice that the originating table contained the position in equinox
J2000 with RA given to a precision of 0.01 seconds of time.
Dec
The nominal declination of the XMM-Newton pointing, in the requested equinox.
Notice that the originating table contained the position in equinox J2000
with declination given to a precision of 0.1 arcseconds.
LII
The galactic longitude of the XMM-Newton pointing.
BII
The galactic latitude of the XMM-Newton pointing.
Time
The start time of the observation in UTC. Notice that the originating
table gave the start time given to a precision of 0.01 seconds.
Scheduled_Duration
The planned duration for the observation in seconds. This is the planned on
target time and includes the time required for instrument setup; which means
the actual 'science' time available will be lower.
Estimated_Exposure
The estimated duration for the observation in seconds. This is derived by
checking for the time spent with the filter wheel (the MOS1 camera is taken
as the reference) within the time window planned for the observation.
PI_Name
The name of the principal investigator for the XMM-Newton pointing.
ODF_Date
The creation date for the Observation Data Files from the raw telemetry data.
If no date is listed, then this initial processing has not taken place.
Distribution_Date
A specified date indicates whether the final CD with the pipeline products
and the ODF have been shipped, and if so when.
Public_Date
A specified date indicates when the data products will become available to
the public. This date is only approximate and subject to change.
XMM_Revolution
The XMM-Newton revolution number in which the observation occurred, i.e., the
number of 48-hour orbits which had elapsed since the launch of XMM-Newton.
