Notes on Historical, Deprecated Data

CELIAS

2022-01-22
Historical, outdated mission-long bundle of CELIAS SEM 15sec Averaged data, ver. 3.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 superseeds 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 technique, 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. The time series used in the paper Fossat, et al (2017) (A&A, 604, id.A40). It is a 16.5-year series calibrated in velocities as explained in García et al. (2005) (A&A, 442, 385), that starts at 0:00:30 (T.A.I.) on April 11th 1996. It is sampled at 80 s.
• 2013-GOLF-17y Directory. One series covering data from April 11, 1996 to December 31, 2013. Data from both detectors (PM1 and PM2) are available, as well as the mean of the two PMs. We have reason to suspect a slightly enhanced noise contribution from PM1. The user can choose to avoid this by using only PM2, or to reduce counting noise by summing the two. The temporal cadence of the time series is of 60 seconds and the duty cycle is of 96. Please cite García et al. (2005) (A&A, 442, 385) when publishing results using these data.

SUMER

2019-03-04
The SUMER FITS files in these directories were created prior to 2019, which means that they have obsolete FITS headers and packaging structure.

UVCS

25-Oct-2013
The UVCS FITS files in these directories were created prior to 2013, which means that they have obsolete FITS headers. Users should use Version 4.0 of the UVCS Data Analysis Software (DAS40) to read, display, or calibrate these files.

VIRGO

2025-05-05
Historical, outdated mission-long bundle of VIRGO TSI Minute data from 1996-02-22 to 2023-02-20. Updated by a new bundle.

2023-05-31
Historical, outdated mission-long bundle of VIRGO SPM L2 BLUE/GREEN/RED data from 1996-01-23 to 2021-05-15. Updated by a new bundle.

2023-04-27
VIRGO TSI Daily and Hourly: this bundle contains daily and hourly mission-long VIRGO TSI series, including older version (Version 6.5 and 7), maintained and released under the former PI of VIRGO, Dr. Claus Fröhlich (1936-2019). Starting with Version 8, the VIRGO TSI series have been corrected for sensor degradation using a new algorithm based on machine learning and data fusion (see Finsterle et al.: The total solar irradiance during the recent solar minimum period measured by SOHO/VIRGO. Sci Rep 11, 7835 (2021), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87108-y.

2019-10-23
Historical, outdated mission-long bundle of VIRGO SPM BLUE/GREEN/RED L2 data from 1996-01-23 to 2019-09-30. Updated by a new bundle.
