BurstCube Calibration

This page contains a summary of the BurstCube Calibration files which are currently in the Calibration Database (CALDB). The table links to the latest CALDB tar file and users can download it to install the BurstCube CALDB locally.

Instructions for installing the CALDB for BurstCube or other missions are available from the CALDB Installation page. The easiest way to access calibration data for BurstCube or other HEASARC-supported missions is via remote access, which allows direct access the current HEASARC BurstCube CALDB without having to install any calibration data locally.

Caldb access for BurstCube requires the latest version of the caldb.config file (updated 20220402 or later) which is available at https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/software/tools. Please replace your current $CALDBCONFIG file with this updated version.

NOTE : The BurstCube team has released together with the data a list of caveats related to the data, operations, and time assignment relevant to the data analysis.
