... On the right side you will find all exposures of each instrument: . The exposures are aligned as bars with some text information. The size of the bar is related to the duration of the exposure, and the position of each bar depend on the instrument it belongs to and the start time of the exposure. ... Note, that the duration of some exposures can be quite short, such that the text in the bar is not always readable. ... This text can be the exposure id , instrument filter , or instrument mode . ...

Next: *.imh and *.qp Extensions Up: IRAF/PROS Files Previous: IRAF Image Arrays . The x-ray data are stored in QPOE files (Quick Position-Ordered Events, *.qp ) rather than image arrays. ... Note that, unlike IRAF images, QPOE files have no associated header file, and are always stored in the current directory, unless explicitly specified otherwise. Non-PROS IRAF tasks can also access QPOE data files in place of image arrays. ... rp110590.qp[pi=2:30] . ... The ROSAT PSPC qp file images are . ...

... It is not always easy to identify ``the'' time of an observation. Some instruments record the time at which the observation began; some record the end of the measurement, or even the time at which the readout was recorded; very few record the middle of the exposure. The ESO Archive records the starting time of the observation, recorded in a FITS-header keyword named MJD-OBS . ... In any case we would need this information for weighting purposes. ...
