1) U.S. XMM-Newton GOF Image Gallery launched

http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xmm/xmm_gal_science.html

The images in this XMM-Newton gallery have been created using the ESAS
tasks in SAS. The individual observations have been temporally
filtered to remove periods of strong soft proton contamination and
then corrected for the quiescent particle background and the residual
soft proton background.

Creation of the Science Image Gallery will be a long-term project
pursued as time allows.  The order as to which observations are done
first is arbitrary and if you have a request, let the GOF know through
our Help Desk at:
xmmhelp@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov.


*******************************************************************

2) GO Funding for AO-13 Proposals

Guest Observer grant eligibility and funding levels (if any) for
successful AO-13 science proposals will not be known until we have
the results of the 2014 Senior Review.  This will be in the mid-June
time frame.

3) U.S. XMM-Newton PI proprietary data mirror offline

Since 2013 July when ESA began major updates to the XMM-Newton
Science Archive (XSA), the mirroring of U.S. PI proprietary data has
been on hold.  Any proprietary U.S. PI data sets released since
2013 July 6 are currently only available via the XSA.  We expect to
resume this service in about a month as ESA continues to update and
maintain the XSA.
