Einstein FPCS: 436 FITS Files of Photon Event Data

436 FITS files of photon event data from the Focal Plane Crystal Spectrometer instrument. The database was created in October 1992 and is provided as a service by NASA's High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC). It contains one entry for each of the 436 FPCS FITS files.

Use Cases

• Analyze photon event distributions based on the FITS file listings.
• Study spectral data from the Focal Plane Crystal Spectrometer instrument.
• Cross-reference photon event files with other Einstein Observatory datasets.

Strengths

• Contains 436 distinct FITS file entries.
• Originates from the authoritative NASA HEASARC archive.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying event data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
