To request ROSAT data from the public archive users should send an e-mail message to
NDADSA::ARCHIVES
or
archives@ndadsa.gsfc.nasa.gov
( N.B.: These addresses were current as of April 1994.)
The subject line should read
request rosat <data_type>
where <data_type>=FITS, BASIC, DERIVED, ANCILLARY, CALIBRATION or ALL. The correspondence between NDADSA data_type and the ROSAT data products is given below:
Data Files for Rev0 PSPC
The body of the letter should contain the dataset_id(s) in the form
w<i><ror>
You may request more than one dataset at a time
For example, to request FITS-type data from the datasets 200423 (filtered) and 200194 (unfiltered) a DECNet user would send the following e-mail:
wf200423
wp200194
