Abstract:

The ROSAT Results Archive (RRA) is an accessible collection of source lists, images, spectra, lightcurves and counting rates derived from pointed-phase observations of the ROSAT X-ray satellite observatory. The RRA contains X-ray source data from both the ROSAT Positional Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) and the ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI) instruments, using only data processed with the current (REV2) version of the processing system to ensure data uniformity and accuracy. Each detected source is visually inspected and possible problems are flagged. We describe the products available through the RRA, the methods of data screening, and methods of data access in this poster.
