EXOSAT Data Archive
FORMAT OF PRINTED LINE OF OUTPUT
The Information in the data archive list is from 3 sources:
A = auxiliary data (=manoeuvre history)
F = FOT request file
- = manual (via editor) Insertion
| description of field | data source | printout format |
|---|---|---|
| start time of stable pointing | A | yy/ddd hhmm |
| end time of stable pointing | A | ..ddd hhmm |
| right ascension (of star tracker) | A | hh mm ss |
| declination (of star tracker) (RA & dec are in 1950 epoch; note that these are not the target coordinates - normally target is offset from star tracker by about 2 arc mins) | A | +/-dd mm.m |
| target name (left justified) (no special convention for names; the + sign to indicate a trim is always the 16th character. If present) | A | up to 16 characters |
| proposal code : divided Into 2 fields, | up to 8 characters | |
| - class of proposal(PV TOO.LLX.AGN, OPS,CAL,HLX,CLU,SNR,OCC,EXG, or MIS) | F | |
| - identification of proposal | F | |
| miscellaneous footnotes: | ||
| 11 = solar aspect angle < 90 degs. | 12 = unstable attitude | |
| 13 = partial data loss | 18 = ME/HER4 data problem | |
| 19 = OBC problem or crash | 21 = raster scan | |
| * = 1st pointing of multi-pointing FOT | C = continuation of a '*' FOT | |
| principal investigator (a number > 0 pointing to a table of PI's names and addresses. 0 means 'Observatory'.) | F | |
| 4 flags for whether FOTs exist: (space means corresponding FOT doesn't exist) | F | L = LE1 available K = LE2 available M = ME available G = GS available |
| P.I. name (from FOT request; a blank
space is shown If the request was for the Observatory, e.g. for data from performance verification phase; PI name will not be in final log, only the PI number plus list of names) | F | |
