Data Access
RadioJOVE Multiple Frequency Data Product. This data
set consists of observations made at the Hawk's Nest Radio Astronomy
Observatory (HNRAO) using a Terminated Folded Dipole and an FSX-8S
12 bit switching dual polarization spectrograph. These data are
generated using the Radio Sky Spectrograph software. The data set consists
of two channels of data. Channel 1 is Right Circular Polarization
and Channel 2 is Left Circular Polarization.
These data may include observations of Solar Radio Bursts, Jupiter
decametric radio emission, or Galactic Background radio emission.
The Radio-Sky Spectrograph produced datafiles consist of a fixed length header and a variable
length note. The data portion of the file for two channel data
consists of an 8 byte timestamp using the VisualBasic 6 date format
(days since 1 Jan 1900) followed by two 8 byte data values (Channel 1 followed by Channel 2),
this pattern repeats until the end of file. More details can be
found in the Data File Structure document on the Radio-SkyPipe help
page (see Information URL).
These data are submitted to the RadioJOVE Archive and to the
PDS/PPI archive at UCLA.

Available at this site is a description of the Observatory facilities, a manual for the Terminated Folded Dipole antenna, and a guide to reading the binary data file produced by the Radio-SkyPipe software.
The page "Radio-SkyPipe data file structure" describes
the file standard.
The time array of the data. The time resolution is
variable but is typically set at about 0.3 seconds
