Requesting Rosat Data From the Public Archive

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

<eof>

See ROSAT Status Report #56, available via anonymous ftp from legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov

N.B.: When RDF files become available in the archive, the details will change.
