NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
This database table gives access to the IPC unscreened data set, which includes files in the event list format together with auxiliary files. This data set was generated by the Einstein Data Center and delivered to the HEASARC on CD-ROM. The Einstein Observatory (HEAO-2) operated from November 1978 to April 1981. Einstein carried the first fully imaging X-ray telescope in space and operated in pointing mode. The Imaging Proportional Counter had a bandpass of 0.2-3.5 keV and was one of two detectors onboard used for imaging. During the Einstein lifetime more than 4000 targets were observed with the IPC. This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in August 2005. Galactic coordinates were added and some parameters were renamed to adhere to the HEASARC's current parameter naming conventions.

57. Einstein MPC Raw Data
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/mpcraw
Title:
Einstein MPC Raw Data
Short Name:
MPCRAW
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The Einstein Observatory (also known as HEAO-2 or HEAO-B) was operational from 1978 November 13 until 1981 April 25 when the Einstein attitude control system failed. The Monitor Proportional Counter (MPC) was a non-focal plane instrument that monitored the 1 to 20 keV X-ray flux of the source(s) being observed simultaneously by the operational focal plane instrument. The MPC was a collimated proportional counter filled with argon and carbon dioxide. It had a circular field of view, 1.5 degrees in diameter (FWHM), which was co-aligned with the telescope. A 1.5 mil Be window sealed the gas in the detector and shielded the detector from ultraviolet radiation. The active area of the MPC was 667 square cm. The MPC obtained useful data from 1978 November 19 until 1981 April 17, with the exception of a 3-month period from 1980 Aug 27 to 1980 Dec 08 when operation was intermittent, due to Einstein Observatory attitude control problems. The characteristics of the MPC have been described in detail by Gaillardetz et al.(1979) and by Grindlay et al. (1980). One duplicate entry was removed from the HEASARC implementation of this catalog in June 2019. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
58. Einstein SSS and MPC Raw Data
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/sssraw
Title:
Einstein SSS and MPC Raw Data
Short Name:
SSSRAW
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The Einstein Observatory (also known as HEAO-2 or HEAO-B) was operational from 1978 November 13 until 1981 April 25 when the attitude control system failed. The Solid State Spectrometer (SSS) was operated intermittently between 1978 December 1 and 1979 October 22. However, the cryogen cooling for the detector was used up by about 2 weeks prior to the date of this last observation, so that the last reliable observation of the SSS is considered to have occurred on 1979 October 03. The SSSRAW database accesses the raw SSS data (and the associated monitoring proportional counter, MPC, data), restored in FITS format at HEASARC from the original machine dependent format data set. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
59. Einstein SSS Spectra and Lightcurves
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/sss
Title:
Einstein SSS Spectra and Lightcurves
Short Name:
SSS
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
This table is the Einstein Solid State Spectrometer catalog of observations and data products. It incorporates the most recent ice model that is described in the article on the SSS calibration by Christian, Swank, and White that appeared in the HEASARC journal, Legacy, No. 1. Also available as "associated" data products are the quasi-simultaneous observations made by the Einstein Monitor Proportional Counter. There are 634 distinct SSS observations in this database, 95% of which have associated MPC data products. The remaining SSS observations cover time intervals in which all MPC data was flagged as bad by the pCHIP program that was used to generate the MPC spectra and lightcurves.

60. eROSITA All-Sky Survey Master Catalog

Title:
eROSITA All-Sky Survey Master Catalog
Short Name:
ERASSMASTR
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The eROSITA-DE DR1 comprises data from the first six months of the SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey (eRASS1) whose proprietary rights lie with the German eROSITA consortium. Data rights are split by Galactic longitude (l) and latitude (b), with a division marked by the great circle passing through the Galactic poles (l,b)=(0,+90);(0,-90) and the Galactic Center Sgr A* (l,b)=(359.94423568,-0.04616002): data with -0.05576432< l <179.94423568 degrees (Eastern Galactic hemisphere) belong to the Russian consortium, while data with 359.94423568 > l >179.94423568 degrees (Western Galactic hemisphere) belong to eROSITA-DE. The Western Galactic hemisphere observations were released to the public through the <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/">eROSITA-DE site</a> on 31 January 2024. In the Early Data Release (EDR), the data taken during the Calibration and Performance Verification (Cal-PV) phase were released and are available in <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/erosmaster.html">EROSMASTER</a>. The reprocessed EDR observations are not part of DR1. The primary data products of the eROSITA-DE DR1 consist of calibrated event files, which contain the information generated by the cameras used during the eRASS1 observations. The eSASS4DR1 pipeline creates these event files after the received telemetry data from eROSITA of each observation has been reformatted, packaged, and archived by a pre-processor. Note that the coverage of the sky is not uniform, i.e., not all observations have been performed with all seven eROSITA telescope modules (TMs). The eROSITA-DE team has divided the eRASS1 observations into 4700 sky tiles for practical purposes. Each sky tile has a size of 3.6x3.6 square degrees, overlapping by approximately 20 arcmin. Of the 4700 sky tiles, eROSITA-DE have proprietary rights on 2248 of them, and 199 sky tiles have shared rights between the German and Russian consortiums. eROSITA-DE DR1 comprises 2447 sky tiles in total, of which 199 have partial eROSITA-DE data. The FITS table here, provides the mapping between sky-tile identification and sky coordinates for the 2447 sky tiles. In addition, the 0.2-2.3 (<a href="/W3Browse/erosita/erass1main.html">ERASS1MAIN</a>) and 2.3-5 keV (3-band; <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/erass1hard.html">ERASS1HARD</a>) source catalogs are also available. This database table was created by the HEASARC in August 2024 based on the FITS file of the survey field boundaries available from the eROSITA-DE <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/AllSkySurveyData_dr1/">DR1 site</a>.
