Ginga ASM lightcurves

Overview

Description

Ginga All Sky Monitor (ASM) lightcurve files. The lightcurves are calculated in three energy bands: 1-6 keV, 6-20 keV, and 1-20 keV. The Crab flux with ASM is 2.0 count/sec/cm2 (1-6 keV) and 0.8 count/s/cm2 (6-20 keV).

Version 1.2 files are idential to those in Version 1.1, except that RATE and ERROR units were corrected to count/cm**2/s (in previous versions, the unit was photons/cm**2/s, which is wrong)).

Version 1.1 files are dentical to those in Version 1.0 except that diffefent filename convention is adopted (“+”,“-”, “.” are not used, according to HEASARC convention).
