Scientific paper

The Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) satellite was launched in February 2002. RHESSI provides images and spectra of solar flares in the energy range from 3 keV to 10 MeV. Since launch, we have been accumulating data at a rate of approximately 1.8 Gbytes/day. RHESSI data are stored in level-0 data files as telemetry packets, as received from the spacecraft, in FITS binary tables. There are typically two level-0 data files (max. size of 100 Mbytes) per spacecraft orbit. Supplementary catalog data is appended to each level-0 file, and also is stored in daily catalog files. Other quicklook data products are also generated and stored online. In this presentation we discuss the handling of the level-0 data from its arrival at UCB Science Operations Center (SOC) through its appearance in the online data archive. We also provide a summary of the RHESSI quicklook data products. Data access is demonstrated using examples obtained from the data. This work is funded by NASA through grant NAS5-98033.
