U.S. Revision 0 sequence names
The following naming conventions apply to all data processed by the U.S. RSDC using SASS versions 3_0 through 5_9 (Rev0) and distributed in the U.S. FITS format. During Rev0, all available OBIs were used to produce a single set of data products, regardless of whether or not they occurred in different "observing seasons."
Rev0 file names are of the following form:
r
where:
- r - stands for ROSAT
- <detector-code> - code for detector/filter:
- h - HRI
- p - PSPC
- f - Filtered PSPC.
- <ROR> - the 6-digit Rosat Observation Request number
- <extensions> - additional characters specifying the "type" of data.
- <detector-code> - code for detector/filter:
Examples
The photon event files produced by IRAF/PROS from Rev0 data products might be as follows:
- rp123456.qp - PSPC observations (.qp is the IRAF qpoe extension)
- rp234567f.qp - PSPC Filter observations
- rh345678.qp - HRI observations
- rp234567f.qp - PSPC Filter observations
