Testing rate-dependent corrections on timing mode EPIC-pn spectra of the accreting neutron star GX 13+1
Testing rate-dependent corrections on timing mode EPIC-pn spectra of the accreting neutron star GX 13+1
When the EPIC-pn instrument on board XMM–Newton is operated in Timing mode, high count rates (>100 counts s−1) of bright sources may affect the calibration of the energy scale, resulting in a modification of the real spectral shape. The corrections related to this effect are then strongly important in the …
