BEFS data consists of spectroscopic data in FITS format.
The FITS spectra contain binary table extensions with both
1st and 2nd order spectra. Please see:
Reading in IDL for information on reading BEFS data with IDL. Reading in IRAF for information on reading BEFS data with IRAF, and please see Data Caveats for details about nuances in the data.
Time-tagged spectral-photon lists for any spectrum can be produced using
the extract-tt routine.
See the Time-Tagged Data page for
more information. The extract-tt routine (and other project-provided
data analysis software) can be downloaded from the
archive.stsci.edu/pub/orfeus/befs/software directory via the web or
anonymous ftp.
