- Description:
- This survey is a mosaic of images taken by the ROSAT Wide Field Camera and comprises of 12,743 seperates fields in each of two filters. Each field covers a region 2.6°; x 2.6°; with a 0.3°; overlap. Currently, this data is not a complete coverage of the sky; regions near the northern ecliptic pole are currently not included.

- Description:
- Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer was launched at the end of 1995 and up to now (2004) it has been successfully operating for more than 7 years. The mission was primarily designed to study the variability of X-ray sources on time scales from sub-milliseconds to years. The maneuvering capability of the satellite combined with the high photon throughput of its main detector (PCA) and high quality of background prediction (thanks to PCA intrumental group of LHEA, GSFC) has also made it possible to construct maps of the sky in energy band 3-20 keV. During its life time RXTE/PCA has collected a large amount of data from slew observations covering almost the entire sky. <p> We have utilized the slew parts of all RXTE/PCA observations performed from April 15, 1996-July 16, 2002 which amounts in total to approximately 50,000 observations. The exposure time at a given point in the map is typically between 200-500 seconds. The observational period before April 15, 1996 (High Voltage Epochs 1 and 2) was excluded from the analysis because during that time the PCA had significantly different gain and dependence of the effective area on energy. The data reduction was done using standard tools of the LHEASOFT with a set of packages written by M. Revnivtsev (HEAD/IKI, Moscow; MPA, Garching).<p> <p> The survey has several features. It has strongly different exposure times at different points on the sky that lead to strong variability of the statistical noise on images. Because of that the only meaningful representation of images is the map in units of statistical significance. After the detection of a source flux can be determined from the map in the 'flux' units. Map resolution is determined mainly by the slew rate of the RXTE (<0.05-0.1&#176;;/sec) and the time resolution of used data (16 sec, Std2 mode of the PCA). Sources can be detected down to the level of ~6e<sup>-12</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>, but at this level the confusion starts to play an important role. Details of the survey are presented in the paper of Revnivtsev et al. (2004). Provenance: High Energy Astrophysics Department, Space Research Institute, Moscow, Russia; M PA, Garching, Germany.

- Title:
- SAS-2 Photon Events Catalog
- Short Name:
- SAS2RAW
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The SAS2RAW database is a log of the 28 SAS-2 observation intervals and contains target names, sky coordinates start times and other information for all 13056 photons detected by SAS-2. The original data came from 2 sources. The photon information was obtained from the Event Encyclopedia, and the exposures were derived from the original "Orbit Attitude Live Time" (OALT) tapes stored at NASA/GSFC. These data sets were combined into FITS format images at HEASARC. The images were formed by making the center pixel of a 512 x 512 pixel image correspond to the RA and DEC given in the event file. Each photon's RA and DEC was converted to a relative pixel in the image. This was done by using Aitoff projections. All the raw data from the original SAS-2 binary data files are now stored in 28 FITS files. These images can be accessed and plotted using XIMAGE and other columns of the FITS file extensions can be plotted with the FTOOL FPLOT. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- SAS-3 Y-Axis Pointed Obs Log
- Short Name:
- SAS3YLOG
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database is the Third Small Astronomy Satellite (SAS-3) Y-Axis Pointed Observation Log. It identifies possible pointed observations of celestial X-ray sources which were performed with the y-axis detectors of the SAS-3 X-Ray Observatory. This log was compiled (by R. Kelley, P. Goetz and L. Petro) from notes made at the time of the observations and it is expected that it is neither complete nor fully accurate. Possible errors in the log are (i) the misclassification of an observation as a pointed observation when it was either a spinning or dither observation and (ii) inaccuracy of the dates and times of the start and end of an observation. In addition, as described in the HEASARC_Updates section, the HEASARC added some additional information when creating this database. Further information about the SAS-3 detectors and their fields of view can be found at: <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/sas3/sas3_about.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/sas3/sas3_about.html</a> Disclaimer: The HEASARC is aware of certain inconsistencies between the Start_date, End_date, and Duration fields for a number of rows in this database table. They appear to be errors present in the original table. Except for one entry where the HEASARC corrected an error where there was a near-certainty which parameter was incorrect (as noted in the 'HEASARC_Updates' section of this documentation), these inconsistencies have been left as they were in the original table. This database table was released by the HEASARC in June 2000, based on the SAS-3 Y-Axis pointed Observation Log (available from the NSSDC as dataset ID 75-037A-02B), together with some additional information provided by the HEASARC itself.

- Description:
- The full sky 100 micron map is a reprocessed composite of the COBE/DIRBE and IRAS/ISSA maps, with the zodiacal foreground and confirmed point sources removed. Artifacts from the IRAS scan pattern were removed. The result of these manipulations is a map with DIRBE-quality calibration and IR AS resolution. Provenance: David J. Schlegel, Douglas P. Finkbeiner and Marc Davis, Princeton University and University of California, Berkeley. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

- Description:
- SkyView is a Virtual Observatory on the Net. Astronomers can generate images of any portion of the sky at wavelengths in all regimes from radio to gamma-ray. Users tell SkyView the position, scale and orientation desired, and SkyView gives users an image made to their specification. The user need not worry about transforming between equinoxes or coordinate systesm, mosaicking submaps, rotating the image,.... SkyView handles these geometric issues and lets the user get started on astronomy.
