EUVE FITS Keywords

References and comments on FITS keywords are listed below. See main page for background.


Keyword Reference(s) Comments/Notes
GENERAL KEYWORDS
EXTNAME standard FITS keyword VO spectral container format
EQUINOX from keyword EQUINOX Comments here
RADECSYS from keyword RADECSYS FK5 time system
TIMESYS 'UTC' Technically, the times are CLOSE to UTC. From the description of the CLOCKCOR keyword: EUVE times are not guaranteed to be corrected to UT. Regular corrections are applied to the EUVE spacecraft clock to keep EUVE times near UT, but there is drift between corrections. The EUVE time is always kept within 0.9 msec of UT, and usually within 0.7 msec.
MJDREF 0.00000 [d] MJD zero point for times
SPECSYS 'TOPOCENT' wavelengths not corrected
VOCLASS 'SPECTRUM V1.0' VO Data Model
VOSEGT 'SPECTRUM' Segment type
DATALEN derived from data [ ] Number of points in spectrum
DSSOURCE 'POINTED' Survey or Pointed
