xmm -牛顿于1999年12月10日在一个高度偏心的48小时轨道上发射到太空。xmm -牛顿望远镜已经运行了5年，并取得了显著的成功，通过x射线和光学波段的成像、光谱学和定时能力观测宇宙。EPIC-MOS CCD x射线探测器包括xmm -牛顿上三个焦平面仪器中的两个。本文讨论了EPIC-MOS在运行第五年的电荷转移效率（CTI）、能量分辨率和光谱再分布函数（rmf）的现状和性能历史。
XMM-Newton was launched into space on a highly eccentric 48 hour orbit on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is now in its fifth year of operation and has been an outstanding success, observing the Cosmos with imaging, spectroscopy and timing capabilities in the X-ray and optical wavebands. The EPIC-MOS CCD X-ray detectors comprise two out of three of the focal plane instruments on XMM-Newton. In this paper we discuss key aspects of the current status and performance history of the charge transfer ineffiency (CTI), energy resolution and spectral redistribution function (rmf) of EPIC-MOS in its fifth year of operation.
