The relative and absolute timing accuracy of the EPIC-pn camera on<i>XMM-Newton</i>, from X-ray pulsations of the Crab and other pulsars

Aims. Reliable timing calibration is essential for the accurate comparison of XMM-Newton light curves with those from other observatories, to ultimately use them to derive precise physical quantities. The XMM-Newton timing calibration is based on pulsar analysis. However, because pulsars show both timing noise and glitches, it is essential to …
