SAS Users Guide updated
-----------------------

The  Users Guide  to the  XMM-Newton  Science Analysis System has  been
updated for SAS version 15.0  in order to include the latest information
on data analysis methods and updated SAS tasks.

The guide is  available from the XMM-Newton Proposer's Info and Manuals
Web page (Section: Data Analysis) at:

http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/documentation/

The html version of the SAS Users Guide can directly be accessed under

http://xmm-tools.cosmos.esa.int/external/xmm_user_support/documentation/sas_usg/USG/

As announced  in Newsletter#181, data analysis Threads were revised for
SASv15.0 shortly after the SAS release.



Science Workshop "XMM-Newton: The Next Decade"
----------------------------------------------

As announced in a previous newsletter:

     http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/news-20160129

the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre of the European Space Agency is
organising the astrophysical workshop "XMM-Newton: The Next Decade" from
9th to 11th May 2016 at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC).


* The speaker programme and the abstract booklet are now available under

http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/2016-workshop#programme

* Registration is open under

http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/2016-workshop#registration

  and will close Thursday 14th April 2016.

Latest information can be found in the conference web page

Details on XMM-Newton related Ph.D. to become publicly available
----------------------------------------------------------------

As  explained  in  previous  Newsletters  (see  e.g. issue #173),  the
XMM-Newton  team  is  collecting  information about  the completion  of
doctorates  and Ph.D.  theses based  on  (or making  use of)  XMM-Newton
observations.

So far,  received information was  only used internally by the SOC.  In
the framework of mission evaluation,  ESA's Science Programme Committee
(SPC) has been provided with statistical information about publications,
including now also doctorates and  Ph.D. theses.  As a consequence this
information will also be made public.

We will inform about the availability of a dedicated web page in a future
Newsletter.



Yours sincerely,

XMM-Newton SOC
