SREM

Processed data

Description of the product

The SREM data files contain calibrated data for the different energy and particle species channels available in the SREM. Each data file contains 24 hours of data - from midnight to midnight (note this is not an OD) - with the date covered by the file easily identifiable through the file name.

Input Data

SREM calibrated data was produced from the SREM raw data acquired during the entire mission.

Data format

• Naming convention

The files containing the SREM calibrated data will have a name of the form SREMPlanck_PACC_YYYYMMDD.fits where PACC stands for Processed ACCumulated data and YYYYMMDD is the date the data in the file was acquired.

• Units
• Format

Each file contains three extensions named CDFFITS1,CDFFITS2 and CDFFITS3. The content of each extension is as follows:

Note: SREM calibrated data files where initially provided in the Common Data Format (cdf) format. This has traditionally been the preferred data format for SREM on board previous ESA missions. However, as cdf is not widely used in the astrophysics community it was later agreed with the provider that fits files should also be provided. This meant taking the original cdf format and converting it to fits. The original cdf files can be retrieved from the SREM site at the PSI.

Header keywords

For data provided in the form of fits files a table containing a description of all the header keywords should be included here. The table should follow this format
