ROSAT Status Report #111:

The ASCA Archive is Open!


ROSAT PIs may be interested to know that the ASCA archive is now open. The first 6 weeks of data taken during the PV phase are available from the HEASARC. Instructions as to how to access the archive and the current public contents list can be found under the ASCA GOF WWW page at

http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/asca/ascagof.html

OR in the anonymous ftp account on heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov in the file asca/doc/archive.txt. It is planned to make monthly releases of data to the archive, around the 15th of each month. A list of the currently available data, and release dates for future data is contained in the ASCAPUBLIC database under browse (accessed under the captive account on heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov, username: xray). An text dump of the archive contents is also available under the anonymous ftp area under asca/data/ascapublic.txt.

Please note that much of these first data to enter the archive were taken early in the mission, when calibration activities were still underway. There are many observations with non-standard operating modes and offset pointing positions. Please take extra care when analyzing these early data. If you have any questions, comments or problems concerning the ASCA archive, please contact:

ascahelp@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov.
