beta4 Re-release

We apologize for the inconvenience.

beta4 Data Release

We are pleased to present our latest data release: beta4! Of particular note is the introduction of soft flags.

Measurements that are soft flagged are to be viewed with caution: although they are still useful, we think their error bars significantly underestimate the effects of systematics. Flagged measurements are plotted in grey.

On the other hand, the error bars of unflagged measurements represent an accurate uncertainty.

Updated with Database Access

The website has now been interfaced with our 40m database. User may now search for sources by name or position. Doing so will query the database for matches, and compile some basic statistics for the returned sources.

The plots and files returned are still pre-generated, but we are now working towards weekly updates.

Data back to June, 2007, is now provided for our pointing sources.

Release to Fermi Collaboration

The website was released to the Fermi collaboration. Current data release begins at July 1, 2008. Data gathered prior to this date requires further processing to correct for an inaccurate pointing model.

Navigate to the Data page and choose your favourite source. Note that this does not yet interface with our database. Regrettably, until the database interface is up, our data will not be searchable.
