XMM Science data

XMM science data are contained in a set of files called Observation Data Files (ODFs). Each PI of an XMM observation receives, as soon as the observing data are pipeline-processed, the following data:

• The ODF of the observation,

• the appropriate CCF,

• all PPS data products produced for the observation, including

• calibrated event lists.

These data are delivered to the PI via CD-ROM.
