This document describes the plans of the U.S. Spectrum-X Gamma Coordination Facility (SXGCF) for collecting, archiving and disseminating data from the Spectrum-X Gamma mission.
Spectrum-X Gamma (SXG) is a large, satellite-borne astronomical observatory, with scientific instrumentation spanning the energy range from extreme ultraviolet to gamma-ray. It is being developed under the auspices of the Russian Space Agency, with instruments contributed by research groups in a number of European countries and the US.
SXG will be placed into high Earth orbit by a Russian Proton-2 launch vehicle. The initial orbit will be highly eccentric, with a 4 day period, ~ 500 km perigee, and ~ 200,000 km apogee. Useful x-ray observing time will be ~ 3 days per orbit. Circularization of the orbit will lead to an ~ 40,000 km perigee after 2 years.
After various operational and viewing constraints are taken into account, it is expected that ~ 80% of the sky will be accessible at any time. However, there will be a region of the sky never accessible to SXG. This region will be ~ 30 °×30° , and will change slightly as the orbit evolves. It will be located at -40° £ d £ -10° , and, depending on the choice of launch parameters, may be placed at any Right Ascension.
SXG operations will be managed by the Lavochkin Association, Moscow, and IKI. There will be one ground station contact every 18 to 30 hours, with a maximum of 10 separate pointings between contacts. However, fewer pointings between contacts are anticipated during the first months of operation. In addition, there will be a limited ability to execute raster scans during single pointings. It is expected that the absolute pointing accuracy will be \simless 2 ¢ in R.A. and Declination, with a pointing stability of ±2.5¢¢ per minute. The accuracy of the reconstructed attitude solution will be \simless 35¢¢ .
After ground station capture, data will be transmitted to IKI for processing and distribution. Observation data products will include instrument science and engineering data sets, satellite orbital elements, attitude solution, instrument command timeline, and a sub-set of the spacecraft engineering data relevant to the instrument in question.
The scientific instrumentation for Spectrum-X Gamma is summarized here. Additional details may be found by visiting the SXGCF web site at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/SXG/sxg.shtml.
The SODART system consists of twin, co-aligned, thin-foil, high-throughput x-ray telescopes, FM1 & FM2. Each telescope has a spatial resolution of ~ 3¢ (HPD) and an on-axis effective area of ~ 800 cm 2 at ~ 6 keV. FM1 and FM2 operate independently, and are each supported by four focal plane instruments mounted in movable sleds.
The instrumentation includes three imaging proportional counters - the Low Energy (0.2 - 8 keV) Proportional Counter (LEPC) and High Energy (2 - 25 keV) Proportional Counter (HEPC), developed by DSRI, and the Focal Plane X-ray Detector (FRD), a ~ 2 - 25 keV detector developed by IKI.
Higher-resolution spectroscopy may be accomplished with the Silicon X-ray Array (SIXA), an array of 19 solid state detectors, each similar to the Einstein SSS, arranged in a hexagonal pattern. SIXA is sensitive to x-rays from 0.5 - 20 keV and has an energy resolution of ~ 3% at 6 keV. SIXA is part of the focal plane instrumentation for FM1.
X-ray polarization studies of bright, accretion-powered x-ray sources, radio pulsars, and supernova remnants may be carried out with the Stellar X-Ray Polarimeter (SXRP), developed by Columbia University. SXRP is part of the focal plane instrumentation for FM2.
The Objective Crystal Spectrometer (OXS) may be maneuvered in front of FM2. The OXS is a large, flat Bragg crystal panel that will allow high-resolution spectroscopy ( E/DE ~ 100-1000 ) in four energy ranges, from 0.2 - 0.285 keV, 0.6 - 1.2 keV, 2.5 - 5.0 keV, and 5.0 - 10.0 keV. The OXS is developed by DSRI, the Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik, Aussenstelle Berlin, and IKI.
Ultraviolet coverage is provided by TAUVEX, an array of three 20 cm diameter Ritchey-Chretien telescopes, developed by Tel Aviv University and the Israeli Space Agency. TAUVEX images a 0.9 degree field in the UV band from 140 nm to 300 nm, with is 6-8 arcsec (FWHM) resolution, depending on the spectral band.
The filter complement consists of a broad-band filter, which provides a blue cutoff for wavelengths shorter than 200 nm, three intermediate band (40 nm) filters with central wavelengths near 160, 210, and 260 nm respectively, and two narrow band (10 nm) filters centered at 150 and 210 nm.
Jet-X consists of two co-aligned, Woltjer Type I X-ray telescopes with 20 ¢¢ angular resolution in the 0.3-10 keV energy range, and a ~ 20¢ field of view. The combined on-axis effective area is ~ 360 cm 2 at 1.5 keV and ~ 140 cm 2 at 8 keV. CCD detectors provide for moderate ( E/DE ~ 10-50) spectral resolution. Jet-X was developed by a consortium of institutions in the UK, Italy, and Russia.
MOXE is a set of six X-ray pinhole cameras that continuously observe the entire sky in the energy range from 2 to 25 keV. Each MOXE module covers 1/6 of the sky (i.e., one face of a cube). For most of the sky, the 5 s sensitivity is ~ 4 mCrab in the 3-10 keV energy range, for a 4 hour observation. MOXE can monitor the whole sky on time scales longer than one week for sources as faint as 1 mCrab (1 UFU) in unconfused regions. Moderately bright (10 mCrab) sources can be monitored on time scales of an hour, and bright (100 mCrab) sources can be monitored on time scales of minutes. MOXE was developed by LANL.
FUVITA is a set of two telescopes with 10 ¢¢ resolution and a 1.2 ° field of view, covering the extreme ultraviolet range from 91.2 nm to 120 nm. The bandpass maximum is ~ 91 nm for one telescope and ~ 99 nm for the other, with a bandwidth of ~ 9 nm for each. The limiting sensitivity for FUVITA is ~ 10 -5 photons cm -2 s -1 A -1 for a 24 hour observation. FUVITA was developed by the Paul Scherrer Institute.
MART-LIME is a high-energy, coded-aperture x-ray telescope, sensitive to x-rays in the energy range from 5-150 keV. The field of view is 6°×6° with an on-axis angular resolution of ~ 9 ¢ . The sensitivity for a 24 hour observation is ~ 1 mCrab. MART-LIME was developed by IAS and IKI.
The U.S. Spectrum-X Gamma Coordination Facility is operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Its responsibilities include:
It should be emphasized that the SXGCF is not charged with developing SXG processing software nor with processing raw SXG data to provide scientifically useful data products. As described in Section 3, data input to the SXGCF are assumed to be the final data products of processing systems operated by those SXG data centers which have agreed to provide data to the SXGCF. The SXGCF will work with other SXG data centers to ensure the scientific usefulness of the input data products.
Scientific data managed by the SXGCF derives from 3 sources: the US SODART Guest Observer Program, the MOXE All-Sky Monitor, and data centers at IKI and DSRI, which have negotiated data-sharing agreements with NASA.
Programmatic data will include proposal data from the U.S. Guest Observer Program, and a catalog of completed and planned SXG observations.
The US has been alloted 2.5% of the SODART primary time (during which the observer's target and choice of instrument determine the observatory's pointing direction), using both SODART telescopes. Since the total SODART time comprises 45% of the total observing time, US observing time will amount to 1.125% of the total SXG primary time, or ~ 2.7×105 seconds per year, assuming a useful pointing time of ~ 2 .4×10 7 seconds per year. An additional 1.5% of the total SODART primary time ( ~ 1 .6×10 5 seconds) will be made available for US/Russian collaborations, half of which will have US Principal Investigators.
In addition to the primary time noted above, the US also has available SODART secondary time (during which other observations determine pointing direction), but only as collaborative time with Russia. This time consists of 2.5% of the total SODART secondary time ( ~ 3 .3×10 5 seconds). The mechanisms for time-sharing secondary time are still under development by the SXG Technical Implementation and International Science Committees.
US/Danish collaborations may also be possible. However, details of this program and the SXGCF's involvement in it have yet to be negotiated by NASA and DSRI.
The MOXE instrument team at LANL will receive all MOXE data. Following a 1-year proprietary period, these data will enter the SXGCF archive and will be made available to U.S. archival researchers.
Under a bilateral agreement between NASA and the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian share of all SXG data will be provided to the U.S. SXG archive within 3 years. This includes ~ 50 % of the data from SODART, Jet-X, MART-LIME, and FUVITA.
Under a separate bilateral agreement between NASA and the Danish Space Research Institute, the Danish share of SODART data will be provided to the U.S. SXG archive after 1 year.
The SXGCF will maintain calibration data for all science data within its scope. It also advocates a unified CALDB-style database containing calibration data from all SXG instruments, which would be made available to all SXG users. It has offered to help organize and manage such a site. However, such a database has not yet been approved by all SXG partner institutions.
The SXGCF will maintain a database of information from proposals for observations under the U.S. SODART Guest Observer Program. Abstracts of approved proposals will be made publicly available.
The SXGCF also will maintain a unified observing catalog, providing a definitive list of approved targets and their status, for all SXG observations.
There is general agreement among SXG data centers to provide data products to SXG observers in FITS format. The SXGCF will work with the data centers to ensure that such data products are available.
X, MART-LIME) will be FITS binary tables, containing event lists, engineering data, aspect data, and orbit data. Sample FITS headers for SODART HEPC/LEPC data files are shown in Appendix A. TAUVEX and FUVITA data products are expected to be broad-band FITS images, but detailed specifications are not yet available. MOXE FITS formats are described in http://nis-www.lanl.gov/nis-projects/moxe/dbm2/dbm2help/felform.shtml.
Although exact formats for most other instruments have yet to be defined, it is expected that they will conform to OGIP standards for FITS-formatted data from High Energy Astrophysics missions (see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/ofwg/ofwg_recomm.html) and will be similar in content and organization to data products from other contemporary x-ray missions.
In addition to the basic, detailed data products, the SXGCF plans to make available reduced, ``first-look'' datasets, such as blocked images, spectra, and light-curves, intended to provide archival researchers with a quick, semi-quantitative understanding of the quality and utility of selected SXG observations. These first-look data sets will be in the form of FITS images and binary tables. However, it is possible that they may exist only as ``virtual'' files, being generated ``on-the-fly'' by the archive software, in response to a user query (see Section 6).
The SXGCF will maintain calibration data and instrument models in FITS format for all SXG instruments. These data will include detector response matrices (rmf's), telescope effective areas and detector efficiencies (arf's), instrument maps, point response function images, and blank fields. Sample FITS headers for currently available SODART HEPC, LEPC, and SIXA calibration data products are shown in Appendix B.
A HEASARC-style CALDB will be used to organize and distribute calibration data to U.S. guest observers and archive researchers. Also shown in Appendix B are listings for the caldb.indx files describing the datasets mentioned above. OGIP standards for calibration data products will be followed whenever possible. The SXGCF will work with both HEASARC and other SXG data centers to develop standards for any calibration data unique to the SXG mission.
An observation catalog which describes the status of all approved SXG observations will be maintained on-line and made available to U.S. SXG observers. The catalog will be in the form of one or more ASCII tables in STARBASE format. STARBASE is a unix-based ASCII database management system developed at SAO, which is similar to /rdb but with astronomical extensions.
Proposals for SXG observing time under the U.S. Guest Observer Program will be submitted to the SXGCF by e-mail. Proposers will fill out simple ASCII templates with cover page and target information, and send the resulting ASCII text as e-mail to the SXGCF. The contents of a sample proposal are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

Data are extracted from the proposal e-mail are extracted and stored in the proposal database. The database will be in the form of several ASCII tables in STARBASE format. Entries for the proposal in Tables 1 and 2 are shown in Table 3.

The SXG Data Centers have reported size estimates for basic SXG data products in Appendix 14 of the Protocol of the 10th Technical Implementation Committee (TIC) meeting. These estimates are summarized in Table 4 for those data relevant to the SXGCF . Although delivery of most of these data to the SXGCF will be deferred until 1-3 years after launch, the archive must ultimately accommodate a science data volume of ~ 160 Gbytes per year, excluding MOXE data (see Section 4.4).
| Instrument | Data Products | Data Volume (Gbytes/year) |

Initial plans for the SXGCF called for a multi-level archive with only reduced ``first-look'' data products maintained on-line, while the bulk of the data resided in ``on-demand'' CD-ROM or DAT juke-boxes. However, on-going advances in data storage technology now make it feasible to maintain the entire archive on-line on magnetic disk, backed up on DVD media. For example, 50 Gbyte capacity magnetic drives are readily available for ~ $1000 per drive, and DVD writers, which can copy ~ 5 Gbytes of data to DVD format, are available for ~ $1000 per unit.
The SXGCF has therefore updated its baseline hardware architecture to consist of one or more workstations and file servers, with each server supporting multiple, large-capacity magnetic disks and DVD readers and writers, connected by a LAN. This approach drastically simplifies the hardware architecture, eliminating the need for special purpose archive servers and robotic devices. It also increases the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of the archive by allowing it to grow incrementally as storage needs demand, rather than in larger steps dictated by the sizes of available special purpose archive hardware.
The initial design for the SXGCF archive called for organizing archival data in multiple ``tiers'', with ``first-look'' data maintained on-line, and more detailed data sets available upon request. Although the revised architecture described in Section 4.1 eliminates the physical distinction between first-look and detailed data sets, the logical distinction remains a key part of the SXGCF archive design. The simple directory tree structure shown in Figure 1describes the logical design of the archive.

A web-based observation catalog will be the primary user interface to the archive. Archive researchers will be able to query the observation catalog by position, target name, instrument, and observation date. Users will then be able to examine first-look data sets for selected observations and retrieve more detailed data. An example Observation Catalog Query Form is shown in Figure 2, and a sample of a first-look results page is shown in Figure 3.


The SXGCF will work closely with HEASARC, which has assumed the functions of the NSSDC, to develop a long-term SXG archive that efficiently serves the needs of the astronomical community. We will explore the possibility of physically integrating the SXGCF archive with the HEASARC archives over the Internet. It is anticipated that ever-increasing capacities of high-speed data links would make such a distributed archive transparent to the user in the near future.
The MOXE archive will be used to prototype the distributed archive approach. In order to conduct the scientific program for an all-sky monitor such as MOXE, LANL must be able to build and use a MOXE archive from the start of the SXG mission. Current LANL plans are to archive MOXE data directly to HEASARC, since some HEASARC members are Co-Investigators on the MOXE team. Rather than building a redundant archive at SAO, the SXGCF will work closely with LANL and HEASARC to provide first-look data products and general user access to the MOXE archive at HEASARC.
The mechanisms for collecting data products and observing catalog information from other SXG Data Centers have not yet been defined. Proposal data for the U.S. Guest Observer Program will be extracted from proposals submitted via e-mail by computer programs executed at the SXGCF, to produce proposal database entries as described in Section 3.4.
Proprietary data sets for the U.S. Guest Observer Program will be validated at the SXGCF and delivered to observers electronically via ftp. Archival data will be made available primarily through the Observation Catalog Interface described in Section 4.3, but will also be available via ftp. Users who require large volumes of data should contact the SXGCF directly.
As discussed in Section 1.3, the SXGCF will not develop SXG data processing software. However, the SXGCF will make available, either directly or via www links, a number of software packages for SXG data analysis or proposal preparation. A partial list of these packages is shown in Table 5.
| Package | Description |
| DS9 | FITS-based Image Display Program |
| STARBASE | ASCII Relational Database Management System with Astronomical Extensions |
| IRAF | NOAO's Image Reduction and Analysis Facility |
| PIMMS | HEASARC X-ray Mission Count Rate Estimation Service |
| XSPEC | HEASARC Spectral Simulation and Analysis System |
| ZHtools | Jet-X Image Analysis Programs |
| JMAN | RAL's SXG Visibility Program |
| FTOOLS | HEASARC FITS-based Data Analysis Package |
| X-ray Events Simulator | BeppoSax General Purpose Simulator |
The SXGCF will work closely with the SAO/HEAD R&D Group to provide user interfaces between DS9 (the latest in the SAOImage line of image display tools) and FITS-based SXG analysis programs. DS9 will be used both to examine SXG data and launch appropriate analysis programs. The SXGCF will also work with the R&D Group to explore the possibility of generating first-look data products ``on-the-fly'' from basic event lists.
All software provided by the SXGCF will be available via ftp and will be located in the ``SOFTWARE'' sub-directory in Figure 1.
The SXGCF will provide both on-line and file-based versions of Observatory Guides for all supported SXG instruments. File-based documents will be made available via ftp and will reside in the ``DOC'' subdirectory in Figure 1.
