PIMMS Version 4.10/4.10a/4.10b Release Notes

• New in Version 4.10/4.10a/4.10b (Released 2019 Aug 12/Aug 27/2020 Jan 6)
  • Version 4.10b contains an updated set of effective area curves for Chandra instruments, suitable for Cycle 22 proposals.
  • Version 4.10a contains an updated set of effective area curves for XMM-Newton EPIC instruments, suitable for AO-19 proposals.
  • Version 4.10 includes an update for NICER, suitable for Cycle 2 proposers. The changes in the effective area curve are minor; far more important is the updates in the broadband (now clearly defined as 0.2-12 keV) background count rate; background rate in Version 4.9/4.9a was much higher, since it included contributions below 0.2 keV.
  • Version 4.10 also includes a set of effective area curves for Athena XIFU.
