HINODE SOT-FG Level-0 data

The uncalibrated polarization spectra taken by the spectrograph, after having been reformatted from the raw bitstream. The unit of the file is one image with two- or three-dimension.

These data are stored in each observation date directory, like
yyyy/mo/dd/<DataCode>/Hhh00/<FilePrefix>yyyymodd_hhmmss.s.fits

  • yyyy:Year , mo:Month , dd:Day , hh:Hour , mm:Minutes , ss or ss.s:Seconds
  • "H" is character "H", and "00" is charactor "00".
  • <DataCode> and <FilePrefix> are strings that identifies the mode of observation, listed below table.

The values in the "GenID" and "String Description" columns of the table represent the values of the GEN_ID and OBS_TYPE keywords in the FITS headers, and identify the observing mode of the associated SOT-FG data. The "Dim." column indicates how many dimensions are contained in the FITS files corresponding to each observation mode.

(*) Notes regarding the above table:

  1. The SOT-FG data archive contains only two files having mode FGMG with GenID=5. These images were taken before the SOT door had opened.
  2. The SOT-FG data archive contains only one file having mode FGDG with GenID=10. This image was taken before the SOT door had opened.
  3. The SOT-FG data archive contains only two files having mode FGDG with GenID=11. These images were taken on 2008 March 3 as part of a test.
  4. The SOT-FG data archive contains only 12 files having mode FGSIQ with GenID=34. These images were taken on 2008 May 3 as part of a test.
  5. The SOT-FG data archive does not contain any file having mode FGSIU with GenID=35.
  6. The SOT-FG data archive contains only 12 files having mode FGSIUV with GenID=36. These images were taken on 2008 May 3 as part of a test.
