The official "Announcement of Opportunity"  will be made public in the
XMM-Newton News  and on the XMM-Newton Science  Operations Centre home

Data Analysis Threads for SAS v13.5
===================================

SAS threads  are guiding tools  for astronomers to reduce and analyse
XMM-Newton data. They  cover from the basic system  set-up to the most
complex topics.

SAS analysis threads  have been revised to reflect  the latest changes
implemented in SAS v13.5.

The new version of the threads can be found at:
