JEM-X: three years in space
2006
We report on the technical and scientific performance of JEM-X, the X-ray monitor on ESA's INTEGRAL
mission. INTEGRAL has now been in orbit for more than three years, and the mission is foreseen to be
extended until the end of 2010. Overall, JEM-X performs very well, and can be expected to continue to do so for
the duration of the mission. We discuss in some detail the operational experiences and the problems encountered
with the microstrip detectors caused by the space environment and give one example of the interesting scientific
results obtained. The analysis software is still being improved on, and we discuss briefly the significance of these
improvements.
