MMS 3 Magnetic Ephemeris and Coordinates (MEC) and Support (Tsyganenko 1989 model, Dynamic conditions), Level 2 (L2), Burst Mode, 30 ms Data

Magnetospheric Multiscale 3 (MMS 3) spacecraft position, velocity, attitude, angular momentum vector, and magnetic ephemeris and coordinates (MEC), Level-2 science data at Burst (30 ms) time resolution. The Magnetic ephemeris data are calculated by using the Tsyganenko 1989 magnetic field model for disturbed magnetospheric conditions. Many variables are included in this data product including the magnetic field measured at the spacecraft. If possible, the northern and southern hemisphere footpoints of the spacecraft are found by tracing along the magnetic field line threading through the spacecraft per the given Tsyganenko and internal magnetic field models. The northern and southern hemisphere loss cone angles are also given. The magnetic field strength at the footpoints and the minimum magnetic field strength along the field line are also calculated by using the field models. Other variables list the spacecraft L-shell, the magnetic local time, the magnetic latitude and longitude, and whether the threading field line is open, closed, etc. Rotational quaternions are provided to allow coordinate transformation from GEI into 11 other coordinate systems including BSC, GEO, GSE, GSE2000, GSE, and SM. The list of ancillary variables includes the dipole tilt angle, the Dst and Kp actvity indices, and separate flags that denote satellite eclipse by the Earth and Moon.

MMS 2 Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) Quality 0 Counts, Level 2 (L2), Burst Mode, 7.8125 ms Data

Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) Q0 Burst Survey, Level 2, 0.0078125 s Data (128 samples/s). EDI has two scientific data acquisition modes, called electric field mode and ambient mode. In electric field mode, two coded electron beams are emitted such that they return to the detectors after one or more gyrations in the ambient magnetic and electric field. The firing directions and times-of-flight allow the derivation of the drift velocity and electric field. In ambient mode, the electron beams are not used. The detectors with their large geometric factors and their ability to adjust the field of view quickly allow continuous sampling of ambient electrons at a selected pitch angle and fixed but selectable energy. To find the beam directions that will hit the detector, EDI sweeps each beam in the plane perpendicular to B at a fixed angular rate of 0.22 °/ms until a signal has been acquired by the detector. Once signal has been acquired, the beams are swept back and forth to stay on target. Beam detection is not determined from the changes in the count-rates directly, but from the square of the beam counts divided by the background counts from ambient electrons, i.e., from the square of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This quantity is computed from data provided by the correlator in the Gun-Detector Electronics that also generates the coding pattern imposed on the outgoing beams. If the squared SNR ratio exceeds a threshold, this is taken as evidence that the beam is returning to the detector. The thresholds for SNR are chosen dependent on background fluxes. They represent a compromise between getting false hits (induced by strong variations in background electron fluxes) and missing true beam hits. The basic software loop that controls EDI operations is executed every 2 ms. As the times when the beams hit their detectors are neither synchronized with the telemetry nor equidistant, EDI data have no fixed time-resolution. Data are reported in telemetry slots. In Survey, using the standard packing mode 0, there are eight telemetry slots per second and Gyn Detector Unit (GDU). The last beam detected during the previous slot will be reported in the current slot. If no beam has been detected, the data quality will be set to zero. In Burst telemetry there are 128 slots per second and GDU. The data in each slot consists of information regarding the beam firing directions (stored in the form of analytic gun deflection voltages), times-of-flight (if successfully measured), quality indicators, time stamps of the beam hits, and some auxiliary correlator-related information. Whenever EDI is not in electron drift mode, it uses its ambient electron mode. The mode has the capability to sample at either 90 degrees pitch angle or at 0/180 degrees (field aligned), or to alternate between 90 degrees and field aligned with selectable dwell times. While all options have been demonstrated during the commissioning phase, only the field aligned mode has been used in the routine operations phase. The choices for energy are 250 eV, 500 eV, and 1 keV. The two detectors, which are facing opposite hemispheres, are looking strictly into opposite directions, so while one detector is looking along B the other is looking antiparallel to B (corresponding to pitch angles of 180 and 0 degrees, respectively). The two detectors switch roles every half spin of the spacecraft as the tip of the magnetic field vector spins outside the field of view of one detector and into the field of view of the other detector. These data are a by-product generated from data collected in electric field mode. Whenever no return beam is found in a particular time slot by the flight software to be reported will be flagged with the lowest quality level (quality zero). The ground processing generates a separate data product from these counts data. The EDI instrument paper can be found at: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11214-015-0182-7. The EDI instrument data products guide can be found at https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/datasets/fields/.

FAST Electrostatic Analyzer (ESA), Ion Burst 0.078 s Data

The FAST IES and EES measure 32 pitch angle directions simultaneously, 11.25° resolution, and sweep over 48 energy steps in 1/64 of a spacecraft spin. The energy range is nominally 3 eV to 25 keV for ions and 4 eV to 30 keV for electrons, respectively. Each spectrometer consists of two half sensor heads each with 180° by 10° field-of-view, FOV, that are mounted on opposite sides of the spacecraft to form a 360° planar FOV. The out-of-plane response is roughly Gaussian with a full width, half maximum, FWHM, of about 5°. The planar FOV is within the spacecraft spin plane, which is oriented with the spin vector normal to the nominal magnetic field direction. This orientation facilitates continuous pitch angle measurements. Deflectors are used to steer the sensor FOV out of this plane by up to 10° to account for variations of the magnetic field direction during the orbit. In general, the pitch angle distribution always includes both the parallel and Anti-parallel magnetic field directions. Burst data consists of a 32 angle by 48 anergy bin array of counts. Counts are pseudo-log compressed from 16 to 8 bits onboard. The first energy step is a high voltage retrace and should be ignored. Detector anodes rotate by half an anode or 5.625° each sweep. Survey data is averaged burst data that has been despun onboard. Slow survey is averaged into a 32 angle by 48 energy array each half spin or about 2.5 s. Some blurring of the angular resolution results from the half anode rotation on alternate sweeps. Fast survey is averaged into a 64 angle by 48 energy array that maintains the angular resolution. Fast survey time resolution varies from 1/16 to 1/4 of a spin.

Global Sentinel-1 Burst ID Map

Sentinel-1 performs systematic acquisition of bursts in both IW and EW modes. The bursts overlap almost perfectly between different passes and are always located at the same place. With the deployment of the SAR processor S1-IPF 3.4, a new element has been added to the products annotations: the Burst ID, which should help the end user to identify a burst area of interest and facilitate searches. The Burst ID map is a complementary auxiliary product. The maps have a validity that covers the entire time span of the mission and they are global, i.e., they include as well information where no SAR data is acquired. Each granule contains information about burst and sub-swath IDs, relative orbit and burst polygon, and should allow for an easier link between a certain burst ID in a product and its corresponding geographic location.

Kommers et al. (2001) BATSE Non-Triggered Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

This is the Kommers et al. (2001) Non-Triggered Burst Supplement to the BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Catalog. It contains 873 "non-triggered" GRBs that were detected in a search of the BATSE Archival continuous data recorded between 1991 December 9 and 1997 December 17 for which the BATSE on-board burst trigger was not activated, for example because the burst was too faint to exceed the on-board detection threshold or it occurred while the on-board trigger was disabled for technical reasons. For each burst, the catalog gives an estimated source direction, duration, peak flux, and fluence. This catalog increases the number of GRBs detected using BATSE by 48% during the time period covered by the search. This database table was created at the HEASARC in September 2001 using the authors' file <a href="http://space.mit.edu/BATSE/ntgrb-ascii.html">http://space.mit.edu/BATSE/ntgrb-ascii.html</a> This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

MMS 2 Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) AC Magnetic Field Level 2 (L2), Burst Mode, 8192 Sample/s Data

Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) AC Magnetic Field (8192 samples/s), Level 2, Burst Mode Data. The tri-axial Search-Coil Magnetometer with its associated preamplifier measures three-dimensional magnetic field fluctuations. The analog magnetic waveforms measured by the SCM are digitized and processed inside the Digital Signal Processor (DSP), collected and stored by the Central Instrument Data Processor (CIDP) via the Fields Central Electronics Box (CEB). Prior to launch, all SCM Flight models were calibrated by LPP team members at the National Magnetic Observatory, Chambon-la-Foret (Orleans). Once per orbit, each SCM transfer function is checked thanks to the onboard calibration signal provided by the DSP. The SCM is operated for the entire MMS orbit in survey mode. Within scientific Regions Of Interest (ROI), burst mode data are also acquired as well as high speed burst mode data. This SCM data set corresponds to the AC magnetic field waveforms in nanoTesla and in the GSE frame. The SCM instrument paper for SCM can be found at http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-014-0096-9 and the SCM data product guide at https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/datasets/fields/.

PSP FIELDS Digital Fields Board (DFB) Searchcoil Magnetometer, SCM, Burst Waveform, Level 2 (L2), 0.873813 s Data

PSP FIELDS Digital Fields Board (DFB), Differential Voltage data:The DFB is the low frequency, less than 75 kHz, component of the FIELDS experiment on the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft, see reference [1] below. For a full description of the FIELDS experiment, see reference [2]. For a description of the DFB, see reference [3].DFB burst waveform data consist of short bursts of time-series data from various FIELDS sensors. These data have been filtered by both analog and digital filters [3]. These data are pre-sorted by onboard competitive selection algorithms described in [3] before storage by FIELDS. A subset of this stored burst data is telemetered to Earth for scientist-selected regions of interest.The Level 2 data products contained in this data file have been calibrated for:* 1) DFB in-band gain* 2) DFB analog filter gain/phase response* 3) DFB digital filter phase response* 4) The search coil preamplifier gain/phase response, when applicableCalibrations for the FIELDS voltage sensor preamplifiers have not been implemented as the preamplifier response is flat and equal to one through the DFB frequency range. Corrections for plasma sheath impedance gain and antenna effective length have not been applied to voltage sensor signals. These corrections will be applied in the Level 3 DFB data products. Therefore, all voltage sensor quantities when present in these Level 2 data products are expressed by using units of Volts. Likewise, all magnetic field quantities when present in these Level 2 data products are expressed by using units of nT.The Level 2 voltage data products when present in these data files are expressed in sensor coordinates: [dV12,dV34] for voltage measurements. Likewise, the Level 2 search coil magnetomete data products when present in these data files are expressed in sensor coordinates: [u,v,w] for magnetic field measurements.The time resolution of the DFB burst waveform data can vary by multiples of 2^N. During encounter when PSP is within 0.25 AU of the Sun, the DFB burst waveform data cadence is typically 150,000 samples/s. This rate is the sample rate of the analog to digital converters, ADC, and data taken at this rate do not pass through a digital filter.References:* 1) Fox, N.J., Velli, M.C., Bale, S.D. et al., Space Sci Rev (2016) 204:7. https://doi.org/10.1007/s1121401502116* 2) Bale, S.D., Goetz, K., Harvey, P.R. et al., Space Sci Rev (2016) 204:49. https://doi.org/10.1007/s1121401602445* 3) Malaspina, D.M., Ergun, R.E., Bolton, M. et al., JGR Space Phys.

Swift Gamma Ray Burst Compilation by Burst Advocate

This database table includes the early results published in the Gamma-Ray Burst Coordinates Network (GCN) circulars on GRBs detected by the Swift observatory and GRBs detected first by other observatories and followed by Swift. The Swift observatory has a rapid (minute timescale) response to GRB detection and performs sensitive X-ray and optical afterglow observations of hundreds of GRBs on all timescales, from minutes to even months later. The instrumentation consists in a large field of view (FOV) instrument, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT, 15-150 keV) and two narrow field of view instruments, the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and the X-ray Telescope (XRT). The BAT searches the sky for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), determines their location with a precision of a few arcminutes, and triggers an autonomous spacecraft slew to place the burst in the FOV of the narrow field instruments. The first-look data from the three Swift instruments for a newly discovered GRB and its afterglow are transmitted to the ground via TDRSS. The complete telemetry (including the messages transmitted via TDRSS) is subsequently sent down via the Malindi ground station. The information transmitted via TDRSS are broadcast via the the Gamma-Ray Burst Coordinates Network (GCN) followed by subsequent GCN circular based on the early ground analysis of the data collected by Malindi. If the GRB is triggered by Swift , this table records the initial characteristic associated to a burst obtained with the data coming via TDRSS and initial data downloaded via Malindi which results are published via the GCN. In addition the table reports other burst characteristics as for redshift obtained by observations with ground observatories. If the GRB is detected first by other observatories, the table reports results obtained with the ground analysis of the Malindi data and published via the GCN. This database table is generated by compiling the results of the GCN circulars. It was added to the HEASARC database in March 2025. During operation, it is updated weekly and/or for any new trigger. This table is also available at <a href="https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/grb_table/">https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive/grb_table/</a>. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

MMS 4 Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) Ambient Electron Flux, Projection Method 1 (PM1), Level 2 (L2), Burst Mode, 0.9765625 ms Data

Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) Ambient Burst Survey, Level 2, 0.0009765625 s Data (1024 samples/s). EDI has two scientific data acquisition modes, called electric field mode and ambient mode. In electric field mode, two coded electron beams are emitted such that they return to the detectors after one or more gyrations in the ambient magnetic and electric field. The firing directions and times-of-flight allow the derivation of the drift velocity and electric field. In ambient mode, the electron beams are not used. The detectors with their large geometric factors and their ability to adjust the field of view quickly allow continuous sampling of ambient electrons at a selected pitch angle and fixed but selectable energy. To find the beam directions that will hit the detector, EDI sweeps each beam in the plane perpendicular to B at a fixed angular rate of 0.22 °/ms until a signal has been acquired by the detector. Once signal has been acquired, the beams are swept back and forth to stay on target. Beam detection is not determined from the changes in the count-rates directly, but from the square of the beam counts divided by the background counts from ambient electrons, i.e., from the square of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This quantity is computed from data provided by the correlator in the Gun-Detector Electronics that also generates the coding pattern imposed on the outgoing beams. If the squared SNR ratio exceeds a threshold, this is taken as evidence that the beam is returning to the detector. The thresholds for SNR are chosen dependent on background fluxes. They represent a compromise between getting false hits (induced by strong variations in background electron fluxes) and missing true beam hits. The basic software loop that controls EDI operations is executed every 2 ms. As the times when the beams hit their detectors are neither synchronized with the telemetry nor equidistant, EDI data have no fixed time-resolution. Data are reported in telemetry slots. In Survey, using the standard packing mode 0, there are eight telemetry slots per second and Gyn Detector Unit (GDU). The last beam detected during the previous slot will be reported in the current slot. If no beam has been detected, the data quality will be set to zero. In Burst telemetry there are 128 slots per second and GDU. The data in each slot consists of information regarding the beam firing directions (stored in the form of analytic gun deflection voltages), times-of-flight (if successfully measured), quality indicators, time stamps of the beam hits, and some auxiliary correlator-related information. Whenever EDI is not in electron drift mode, it uses its ambient electron mode. The mode has the capability to sample at either 90 degrees pitch angle or at 0/180 degrees (field aligned), or to alternate between 90 degrees and field aligned with selectable dwell times. While all options have been demonstrated during the commissioning phase, only the field aligned mode has been used in the routine operations phase. The choices for energy are 250 eV, 500 eV, and 1 keV. The two detectors, which are facing opposite hemispheres, are looking strictly into opposite directions, so while one detector is looking along B the other is looking antiparallel to B (corresponding to pitch angles of 180 and 0 degrees, respectively). The two detectors switch roles every half spin of the spacecraft as the tip of the magnetic field vector spins outside the field of view of one detector and into the field of view of the other detector. Up until January 4, 2016 the anodes were chosen such that the magnetic field vector projected into the plane of the micro-channel plate entry surface was best aligned with the center of the four anodes ( that is, with the gap between the inner two of the four anodes). Data taken in this configuration are using the term "amb" in the data product names. In the burst data where four channels (corresponding to the four adjacent sensor anode pads) are sampled per GDU, the average (or sum) of the center two channels (channels 2 and 3) represents best the pitch angle of 0 degrees (or 180 degrees).

Stern et al. (2001) BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

The Stern et al. (2001) BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Catalog was constructed by scanning the archival BATSE daily records (DISCLA data) covering the entire 9.1 years of BATSE's operation. 3906 GRBs were detected, 2068 of which are previously known BATSE triggers while 1838 of them are new non-triggered bursts. All events were detected in the same kind of data with 1.024 seconds time resolution and were processed with the same procedure, and thus constitute a uniform sample. This scan lowers the BATSE detection threshold to ~0.1 photons/s/cm**2. This database table was created at the HEASARC in August 2001 using the file <a href="ftp://ftp.astro.su.se/pub/head/grb/catalogs/etable2.txt">ftp://ftp.astro.su.se/pub/head/grb/catalogs/etable2.txt</a> on the Stockholm Observatory ftp site. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
