Read more about the spacecraft, mirrors and instruments and about the XMM-Newton SOC. News and Highlights MLM specification of any and all models involve superscripts referring to variables, levels, and generic units at each level. This leads to subscript explosion even for simple models. In contrast, xxM orthogonalizes information about variables, levels and units within levels. As a result, xxM specification remains the same – regardless of the number of levels or the complexity of the dependency structure (hierarchical or cross-classified or mixed)! Multilevel structural equation models (ML-SEM) with observed and latent variables at all levels. (e.g., Mplus, GLLAMM)

Longitudinal data with switching classification (e.g., students changing classrooms/teachers over time). To study the effects of the environment on supernova remnant evolution, the authors made use of an observation of RCW 86 from the X-ray space telescope XMM-Newton. The observation was conducted in 2014, and collected photons across two energy bands, namely the red (0.5 – 2.0 keV) and blue (2.0 – 8.0 keV) bands. Covariance among level-2 random-intercepts \( (u_{pj}) \) , denoted as \( \psi_{21} \) in \( \Psi \) matrix. Grand-means of \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \), denoted as \( \alpha_1 \) and \( \alpha_2 \) in \( \alpha \) vector.

Linear Mixed-Effects Models (LME) with constraints on both G and R side of the model. (e.g., lme4: lmer, SAS: HPMixed)

The equation applies to generic units \( i \) and \( j \) at each level. Hence, subscripts are not really necessary. These are included to make connection with the MLM representation obvious. Observed and latent observations

A group of astronomers led by Maria Giulia Campitiello of the University of Bologna in Italy, decided to change this. They investigated G113 in X-rays as part of the Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton: Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at the Endpoint of structure formation (CHEX-MATE). Their study was complemented by images from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey-Data release 2 (LoTSS-DR2). Partial nesting (e.g., only at-risk students in a classroom receive additional instruction by a tutor). Factor-loading matrix of \( \Lambda \) is an identity matrix and does not include any free parameters. The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Astronomers from the University of Alabama in Huntsville have investigated the galaxy cluster Abell 3558 using ESA's XMM-Newton spacecraft. In their results, they detected two large-scale sloshing cold fronts in the outskirts of this cluster. The finding was reported in a paper published August 30 on the pre-print server arXiv.

Variances of level-1 residuals, denoted as \( \theta_{11} \) and \( \theta_{22} \) in \( \Theta \) matrix.Covariance among level-1 residuals \( (e_{pij}) \), denoted as \( \theta_{21} \) in \( \Theta \) matrix.

If you can draw the model, you can build the model’. Graphical representation of NL-SEM models is intuitive.

Variances of the level-2 random-intercepts, denoted as \( \psi_{11} \) and \( \psi_{22} \) in \( \Psi \) matrix. Staff, students and friends of MSSL have paid tributes to Professor Graziella Branduardi-Raymont, who passed away on 3rd November after several weeks in hospital. After obtaining her PhD in X-ray astronomy in 1977, Graziella moved to the Harvard Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in the US to work on data coming from NASA’s revolutionary new Einstein Observatory, which was the first X-ray astronomy satellite to carry imaging X-ray optics. Notably, the first high-resolution X-ray image of the Perseus cluster of galaxies from Einstein was published in a paper led by Graziella. Graziella's mission involvements included ESA’s first X-ray observatory, Exosat, the German-UK-US observatory, Rosat and ESA’s XMM-Newton.
