New and Improved ASM Products!

December 7, 2000

Just in time for 2001, a new master file of ASM light curves has been delivered to the GOF by the ASM Team. All sources benefit from the improved calibration, and many of the brightest sources in the galactic center have much more data thanks to the new "prime" processing algorithm. Gaps in some of the ASM color files have been filled, and an improved background estimate has been applied. To learn more about the improvements in the latest generation of ASM light curves, check out our ASM Events Page. To download a FITS ASM light curve of your favorite source now, visit our ASM Source Catalog page, where just one click puts you face to face with the data. Don't forget our Working with ASM Products recipe if you need a quick refresher on the methods and tools of the trade, including period searching and barycenter correcting.
