The BAT timetags photons with a relative precision of 100 microseconds.

This matrix represents the response of the BAT to an on-axis source with all detectors enabled (i.e. taka> gtar zxvf goodfiles_swift_bat.tar.Z taka> gtar zxvf goodfiles_swift_mis.tar.Z Title: BAT Global Bad Times and Quality Maps Revision Date: 2009-01-30 Version: 6 Document: SWIFT-BAT-CALDB-BTI-V6 1. The Swift/BAT (Gehrels et al. Because of the sophisticated on-board localization capability of the Swzft Burst Alert Telescope (BAT; Barthelmy et al. The software is released with updates of the calibration data for all three instruments [BAT (20051007), XRT (20050916) and UVOT (20050916)] and the Swift common calibration files [MIS(20050928)].
Based on the radio core luminosity, we estimate that the X-ray spectrum of 3C 206 contains a significant (∼60% in the 14–195 keV band) The clock offset log is documented under "Swift Common Calibration Products". The contents of the latter (MIS) have been already included in the CALDB tar files for each instrument, therefore is not necessary to download the MIS tar file separately. PoS(SWIFT 10)038 The 3rd BAT GRB catalog Amy Lien1;2;† where aCPL is the CPL index, and KCPL 50 is the normalization factor at 50 keV, with units of photons cm 2 s 1 keV 1. In particular, it is meant to document problems with the instrument which are not readily available by scanning the telemetry. Swift/BAT, two of the most luminous unobscured and obscured radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with hard X-ray luminosities of 1045.5 erg s−1 and 1044 9 erg s−1 (14–195 keV), respectively. The list of updates are available in the release notes at: These maps only contain detectors (usually detector modules) which were known for operational reasons to have issues which affect science analysis. The Swift CALDB can be downloaded via the Web at or via anonymous ftp to be installed on the user's machine or local network, or can be accessed remotely.

Download HEASOFT ***** RELEASE NOTES FOR HEASOFT 6.3 July 5, 2007 ***** The HEASoft 6.3 release is primarily driven by the release of the Suzaku (version 5) and Swift (version 2.7) software, but also includes updates to several libraries and packages which have been revised to mirror the current development versions in use at the HEASARC. 3.2 Results The general characteristics of the BAT GRB prompt emissions remain similar to those pre- Summary This document is meant as a summary of all the "bad times" for BAT science analysis. 2. Again, if you processed the BAT data using batgrbproduct as described on the index page , then the detector mask will be in the newly created auxil directory, under the name *b_qmap.fits. Note that the spectrum produced does not need to go through the grppha ftool; this last step has binned the file. taka> ls -1 goodfiles_swift_bat.tar.Z goodfiles_swift_mis.tar.Z goodfiles_swift_uvota.tar.Z goodfiles_swift_xrt.tar.Z.
The Swift mission (Gehrels et al. 2004) has revolutionized our understanding of gamma- ray bursts (GRBs). BAT standard products, including the light curve shown in Fig.

The mask consists of ~54000 lead tiles in a random pattern, while there are 32 768 individual CdZnTe elements in the detector plane. 2004; Barthelmy et al. it is the most optimistic configuration). This file is part of the Swift caldb and is used for fine the time corrections. See the Swift CALDB for links and documentation. This catalog (hereafter the BAT2 catalog) ... (BAT CALDB – 4 – 20081026). It has a high sensitivity and a large field of view (2 steradian). *** DOWNLOAD CALDB on the LOCAL MACHINE There is one tar file for each instrument (BAT, XRT and UVOT) and one for miscellaneous common Swift calibration files (MIS). After using this task, spectrum.pha should have a new column, SYS_ERR, which XSPEC uses during spectral fitting. The Swift XRT has the following readout/processing modes: Imaging mode: This is a normal imaging exposure and readout, similar to Photon-counting mode (see below), except that we allow photons to pile up and make no attempt to do photon event recognition in the on-board processing.The CCD is operated like an optical CCD.
