CELIAS

2022-01-22

1. Historical, outdated mission-long bundle of CELIAS SEM 15sec Averaged data, ver. 3. Updated by a new bundle.
2. Historical, outdated mission-long bundle of CELIAS Daily Averaged data, ver. 3. Updated by a new bundle.

CDS

2022-05-16
The CDS FITS files in these directories were created prior to 2022, which means that they have obsolete FITS headers and packaging structure.

ERNE

2023-04-25
This data bundle contains ERNE Heavy Ion (1996–2013) data. The ERNE team has released an update which supersedes it.

GOLF

2022-11-16
These Level 2 data are made of calibrated velocities. Mainly due to the loss of the rotating mechanisms of the polarisors, the calibration is not trivial. Individual GOLF Team scientists developed their own techniques, based on different assumptions.

• 2018-GOLF-22y Directory: New series calibrated as explained in Appourchaux et al. (2018) (A&A 617 A108), containing: PM1, PM2, mean of the two signals.
• 2017-GOLF-Fossat_Series Directory: Time series used in Fossat et al. (2017) (A&A 604, A40). Calibrated in velocities as per García et al. (2005) (A&A, 442, 385). Starts at 00:00:30 (T.A.I.) on April 11th 1996. Sampled at 80 s.
• 2013-GOLF-17y Directory: One series covering April 11, 1996 to December 31, 2013. Includes data from PM1, PM2, and their mean. PM1 may have slightly enhanced noise. Cadence: 60s; duty cycle: 96%. Cite García et al. (2005) (A&A, 442, 385) if used.

SUMER

2019-03-04
The SUMER FITS files in these directories were created prior to 2019 and contain obsolete headers and packaging.

UVCS

2013-10-25
The UVCS FITS files in these directories were created prior to 2013 and may have outdated headers. Use UVCS DAS40 v4.0 to read and process.
