过去，各种X射线卫星都使用蟹状星云作为标准蜡烛来进行校准。然而，XMM-牛顿的校准是独立于蟹状星云的，因为这个物体还没有被用来调整光谱校准问题。在2004年进行了一些特殊的观测，以测量光谱参数和绝对通量的螃蟹与XMM牛顿的EPIC-pn CCD相机。我们详细描述了这场运动的结果，并将其与四个当前任务（Integral，Swift，Chandra，RXTE）和许多以前的任务（ROSAT，EXOSAT，Beppo-SAX，ASCA，Ginga，Einstein，Mir-HEXE）的数据进行了比较。
Various X-ray satellites have used the Crab as a standard candle to perform their calibrations in the past. The calibration of XMM-Newton, however, is independent of the Crab nebula, because this object has not been used to adjust spectral calibration issues. In 2004 a number of special observations were performed to measure the spectral parameters and the absolute flux of the Crab with XMM-Newton's EPIC-pn CCD camera. We describe the results of the campaign in detail and compare them with data of four current missions (Integral, Swift, Chandra, RXTE) and numerous previous missions (ROSAT, EXOSAT, Beppo-SAX, ASCA, Ginga, Einstein, Mir-HEXE).
