XMM-NEWTON
MSSL is involved in two XMM-Newton instruments: the OM and RGS. This page gives information about the OM serendipitous source catalogue, XMM-SUSS, a joint project between MSSL and ESAC.

MSSL is involved in several aspects of XMM-Newton, in particular the Optical Monitor (OM) and the Remote Grating Spectrometer (RGS). Please see theÌýÌýfor further information on the instrumentation and projects.
The XMM-OM SUSS catalogues
The XMM-OM Serendipitous Ultra-violet Source Survey (XMM-SUSS) is a catalogue of Optical and UV sources detected serendipitously by the Optical Monitor (OM) on-board the European Space Agency's (ESA's)ÌýXMM-NewtonÌýobservatory. The data were processed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Madrid, Spain) and at the University College London's (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's) Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) on behalf of ESA and is a partner resource to the 4XMMÌýserendipitous X-ray source catalogue.
