Implemented rate-dependent CTI for both EPIC-pn Timing and Burst Mode
Align to fix of encircled energy correction bug in arfgen with SASv9.0
Why should we care?Mode used relatively seldom ( 5% of all observations ≅
in the XSA). However, basic mode for the X-ray binaries community
Three main problems reported to the HelpDesk:Poor residuals at the Silicon and Gold edgesEmission line of unknown origin at 1 keV in obscured ≅
sourcesControversy on the very existence of relativistically
broadened iron lines in Galactic Black Hole and Neutron Star systems

Use the whole sample of 245 exposures in pn Timing Mode in the XSA
Retain only sources with a count rate ≤400 s-1 to avoid pile-up
Accumulate RAWY-dependent event listsFit the distributions for singles, doubles,
triples and quadruple events in the 0.7-10 keV band with a function:
PF(E) = a0 + a1 log(PI) + a2 log(PI)2

The recalibration of the PF as a function of RAWY yields on the average an improvement of the agreement between true and CCF
However, full improvement requires the implementation of a spectral dependency of the PF for high (RAWY≥190) source position
Recommendations:Release the CCF Release NoteOpen an SCR on SAS to cope with the HR-
dependency
