Mission_Name: ASCA
Description:
ASCA (Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics) is the fourth
Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite launched on February 20, 1993 (see
Tanaka et al., 1994PASJ...46L..37T) The collaboration between Japanese
and US scientists has been carried out in the developments of the
X-ray telescopes, the X-ray CCD cameras, and software.
ASCA observed more than 3000 targets before stopping scientific
observations as a consequence of a huge solar flare occured in mid
July, 2000. ISAS continued monitoring operation until the ASCA
reentered the atmosphere on March 2, 2001.
Scientific instrumentation of ASCA consists of four X-ray telescopes
and corresponding focal plane detectors. Focal plane detectors are two
X-ray CCD cameras (SIS: Solid-state Imaging Spectrometers) and two Gas
Imaging Spectrometers (GIS). With these detectors, ASCA covers the
energy range of 0.5-10 keV.
This catalogue is a copy of the ASCA Observation log from the Data
ARchive and Transmission System (DARTS), provided by the PLAIN center
at ISAS/JAXA, Japan.
All the ASCA data have been public. The data is archived in a
target-oriented (strictly speaking, observation-oriented) structure,
i.e., all the data produced from an observation is put into a
directory --- although some exceptions exist for observations in very
early epoch.
Each dataset includes telemetry data, data products (event files,
images, energy spectra, light curves, etc.), and calibration data.
ISAS provides the telemetry and calibration data, and ASCA data
processing center in ADF (Astrophysics Data Facility) at NASA/GSFC
reproduces the data products.
