This tool is a Graphical User Interface that allows a quick visualisation and analysis of the XMM-Newton Pipeline products (PPS) as well as the XMM-Newton catalogue. The code is written in Python and has an interface to the ds9 application.
Tu run the code you first need to download the XMM-Newton Pipeline Products of the observations you want to analyse at:
XMM-Newton Science Archive Search
You also need to download one of the latest versions of the XMM-Newton Catalogue at:
The XMM-Newton Survey Science Catalogues
The Python codes can be retrieved here (2 files):
screening.py
screen_extra.py
Before running the scripts you need to indicate the path to your XMM-Newton PPS files and Catalogue via the keywords root_dir and ltvcatfile, respectively, appearing at the top of the main code.
Please read carefully the Handbook before you start.
