BeppoSAX NFI Archive at HEASARC
- Archive agreement with the BeppoSAX SDC :
- HEASARC exchanges ROSAT & ASCA public archival data for the public BeppoSAX archival data using CDs
- HEASARC delivered the ROSAT archive in April 98
- & the ASCA archive every 6 mns (completed 30 Jan 2002).
- The initial SAX data flow to HEASARC was sparse, due to the lack of resources at the SDC
- Data delivery improved notable in the past year and half
- Includes new and re-processing data sets
- Archive differences : HEASARC has both raw & screened fits file on-line
- Archive differences: The aspect was recently re-calibrated :
- In April 2002 the SDC changed the reference coordinates in all the MECS & LECS screened event files
- At HEASARC the data files are unchanged. A script (provided by the SDC) is available to correct the appropriate header keywords
