Description
XMM-Newton has now been surveying the X-ray, ultra-violet and optical sky for 25 years. During this presentation I will talk about the data reduction and analysis software, the Science Analysis System (SAS) and automated pipeline processing of the data, along with recent improvements that have been implemented to maximise the science return of XMM-Newton and provide alerts for newly detected transients. I will also showcase the various XMM-Newton catalogues stemming from both pointed and slew observations and highlight some scientific results stemming from the exploitation of the catalogues. I will also present the upcoming 5XMM catalogue which will include many new products such as spectral fits, upper limits, source classification, photometric redshifts, long-term variability information and much more.
