Ulysses GRB: 5-Minute Gamma-Ray and Solar X-Ray Count Rates

Filtered average count rates of cosmic gamma rays and solar X-rays, recorded at 5-minute resolution by the Ulysses spacecraft's Gamma-Ray Bursts experiment. The data is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026. A reference publication is Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. Ser., 92(2), 401-410, 1992.

Use Cases

• Detect and analyze gamma-ray burst events based on the cosmic gamma-ray count rates.
• Study solar X-ray emission patterns and flares based on the solar X-ray count rates.
• Correlate cosmic and solar high-energy events using the concurrent 5-minute resolution time-series data.
• Validate or compare space-based gamma-ray observations with other astronomical datasets.

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Ulysses spacecraft, a credible source for space science.
• Provides concurrent measurements of two distinct high-energy phenomena: cosmic gamma rays and solar X-rays.
• Time-series data is recorded at a consistent 5-minute resolution, suitable for temporal analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total data volume are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
