List of XMM PV targets

To demonstrate the observing potential of XMM, a performance verification (PV) programme is executed in an early stage of the mission. Tab. 21 contains the list of XMM PV targets. Depending on the launch date of the satellite, individual targets from this list may or may not actually be observed. This will be decided at a later stage. The current list only gives an overview of which objects are likely to be observed in the course of the PV phase. Proposers intending to observe an XMM PV target will have to await the execution of the PV programme first to see if the PV data satisfy the science requirements of the intended observations.
