Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Dec-2005

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-1109) 4920
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 4627
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 4493
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 4284

Turnaround (in days) between Data acquisition and final Data Products distribution (last Quarter)
Values in excess of 90 days usually indicate a problem analysing the data and/or that re-processing was required.
Data Delay

Details on the Observation Status can be found on the Observation & Data Processing pages.

Publications based on XMM-Newton data

Number of refereed papers based on XMM-Newton Data
997
Refereed papers
Derived from ADS.
Quarterly Pubs
Please note; the large number of publications in the 1st quarter of 2001 is due to the release of the A&A special issue on XMM-Newton. The number of publications in the quarter at the time of issue is an underestimate.
