PIMMS Version 4.12/4.12a/4.12b/4.12c/4.12d/4.12e Release Notes

  • New in Version 4.12/4.12a/4.12b/4.12c/4.12d/4.12e (Released 2022 Jan 24/Feb 2/2023 Jan 17/Aug 24/Sep 13/2024 Jan 4)
    • Version 4.12e contains an updated set of effective area curves for Chandra instruments, suitable for Cycle 26 proposal preparation.
    • Version 4.12d contains updated effective area curves for XMM-Newton EPIC instruments. While this update is intended for AO-23 proposers, the differences from previous versions are smaller than other the likely precision of PIMMS estimates.
    • Version 4.12c newly supports three instruments (LAXPC, CZTI, and SXT) on board the ASTROSAT mission.
    • Version 4.12b contains an updated set of effective area curves for Chandra instruments, suitable for Cycle 25 proposal preparation.
    • Version 4.12a contains a minor update in the output format for IXPE to prevent the possibility of uninformative lines when calculating the minimum exposure time needed to reach the desired level of MDP.
    • Version 4.12 newly supports the IXPE mission, providing, in addition to the count rate, the estimated minimum detectable polarization (MDP) levels, or the exposure time necessary to reach the desired level of MDP.
    • Version 4.12 also fixes a standard-compliance bug in pms_docrt.f, which prevented it from compilation in the standard mode using certain modern compilers.
    • Version 4.12 also contains an updated set of effective area curves for Chandra instruments, suitable for Cycle 24 proposal preparation.
