Data Processing and Distribution status as of 31-Dec-2008

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-1660)	7363
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase	6985
Total number of Observation Data Files generated	6837
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed	6714

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.

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	1967
Refereed papers Extracted from ADS, selecting only those papers which make direct use of XMM-Newton archival data and excluding papers which make indirect use of XMM-Newton data from published results.
