HXMT Data Policy

Data Introduction

Level 1 data are pointed or small sky area observation data organized by "proposal No.-exposure No.".A data product includes all the event data, auxiliary data and other related data in the period of a observation proposal.The data in the product is divided based on exposure time.According to the HXMT satellite data management policy, observation data will be released in batches when it exceeded the protection period.

GRB observation data is the observation data of high-energy telescope (HE) in a period of time before and after the GRB (usually within the range of 200 seconds after the 100 seconds before). These GRBs are mainly detectyed by quick-look monitoring of HXMT data, and a small amount come from GCN information of other satellites. The released data are produced by HXMT science application system. Data sets have been carried on preliminary preprocessing, and can be directly used in the GrB research.

Space environment monitoring data is divided into three parts: the detection data of SEM load, the engineering state data of SEM load, and other auxiliary data needed in the process of SEM data analysis.The product generates data files in days (0:00 to 24:00 UTC time).
