摘要：
The XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre (XMM-SOC) at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) near Madrid/Spain currently operates three scientific instruments on board XMM-Newton. This includes also scientific monitoring of the instruments concerning their stability and health. One of the main instruments onboard XMM-Newton is the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC). Main targets of the monitoring are i.e. the behaviour of the Charge Transfer Efficiency (CTE), the gain, the effective area or the bad/hot/noisy pixels. The monitoring is performed by combination of calibration observations with an internal radioactive calibration source and observations of astronomical targets. We describe software tools that search for useful internal calibration data and perform the monitoring. Also we show some examples of the monitoring material available at the XMM-Newton web site.
