| Abstract: |
The XMM Science Operations Team developed a detailed simulator to describe the performance of the scientific payload on-board European Space Agency's X-Ray Mission XMM. This simulator was written in modern programming languages (C++ and F90). Its application is not limited to simulations of instrumental data, but the simulator also plays a key role in calibrating the instruments, and as such it will become an integral part of the XMM analysis system. |
