X-ray coloured all-sky map

[Laurent Michel]

Dear all,

A coloured X-ray all-sky map is now available with Aladin and others Hips clients.
The map has been made from the images of the  XMM-Newton EPIC-PN camera.
The colour composition is:
     Red  : 0.5-1 Kev (XMM Energy band 2)
     Green: 1-2 Kev (XMM Energy band 3)
     Blue : 2-4.5 Kev (XMM Energy band 4)

The per-band maps are also available with an access to the progenitor images.
The coloured map is available in both PNG and JPEG format.

You can access them by running Aladin and then open
	File->Hips>Image->X->XMM.
If the menu does not appear, go to
	edit-> properties
and reload the dictionary.

This work has been achieved in the frame the European FP7 Arches project (http://www.arches-fp7.eu)

Regards
LM
