Table information for 'hess_dr_hea.obscore_hea'

General

Table Description: IVOA ObsCore HE extension description of event lists for observations in the H.E.S.S. DL3 DR1.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: The release consists of event lists and instrument response functions (Data Level 3 products) for H.E.S.S. observations of various well-known gamma-ray sources (the Crab nebula, PKS 2155-304, MSH 15-52, RX J1713.7-3946) as well as observations of empty fields for background modeling.

H.E.S.S. collaboration, 2018. The data and documentation is publicly released by the H.E.S.S. collaboration as a contribution to the ongoing efforts to define a common open format for data level 3 of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) and IACT open-source science tool development, to enlarge the community involved in IACT data analysis. No scientific publications may be derived from the data. Using the data for new claims about the astrophysical sources is not permitted. When using this data, please include the following attribution: "This work made use of data from the H.E.S.S. DL3 public test data release 1 (HESS DL3 DR1, H.E.S.S. collaboration, 2018)". Alternatively, use the following shorter version, e.g. for presentations: "HESS DL3 DR1, H.E.S.S. collaboration".
