Barycentered NICER event list from ObsID 1200120106, used in Stingray tutorial
<p>This is a NASA NICER observation of the accreting black hole MAXI 1820+070 during its 2018 outburst</p> <p>The raw X-ray event data in FITS format were obtained from the NICER archive at HEASARC:</p> <p>https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/W3Browse/w3hdprods.pl?files=Preview&Coordinates=Equatorial&Equinox=2000&CheckSize=1&showgifs=1&Target=heasarc%5Fnicermastr%7C%7C%7C%5F%5Frow%3D30877%7C%7C&popupFrom=&querytime=1708425079</p> <p>Processing: <br>We ran the barycorr FTOOL, using the JPL DE 430 ephemeris (all details of processing can be found in the header of the FITS file). </p> <p>We distribute it to be used as practice data for Spectral Timing tutorials. Scientific use might require better processing, involving a re-run of the Level-2 data pipeline.<br><br>The data come in three versions:</p> <ol> <li>the original ~2.4GB FITS file</li> <li>a reduced ~720MB HDF5 file containing only part of the data, to help with slow connections</li> <li>a further reduced ~370MB HDF5 file, containing even less data but still adequate for most purposes in the tutorial.</li> </ol>
