Suzaku HXD/WAM data
Overview
Description
This dataset contains information of the events detected by the Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) onboard Suzaku during its ~10 years of operation. WAM continuously obtained light-curve data with a one-second time resolution. Besides, WAM had an automated GRB detection system to trigger Burst observations with finer time resolutions. The one-second light-curve data are named “transient data” (TRN) or “untriggered data”, and the triggered data is called “burst data” (BST).
Science Data
There are three different levels of WAM data archive. Their sources are identical, but only processing levels are different.
-
Renamed and reconfigured at HEASARC based on wam-2.0.
-
Newly processed WAM data in 2017-2018 at Saitama Univ. and Nagoya Univ. Time calibration is updated, and deadtime correction is applied.
GTI files are made.
See explnation documents for more details (in English or Japanese). -
This is the same one which had been released from http://www.astro.isas.jaxa.jp/suzaku/HXD-WAM/WAM-GRB/.
Here is the list of all the Ver2.0 and Ver.3.0 data. For each event, Ver2.0 or Ver3.0 data are linked.
