TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15345 SUBJECT: Fermi GBM data availability during U.S. government shutdown DATE: 13/10/16 20:12:14 GMT FROM: Valerie Connaughton at UAH/NSSTC Andreas von Kienlin (MPE) and Valerie Connaughton (UAH) report for the GBM team: Fermi GBM operations are proceeding during the U.S. government shutdown. GCN trigger notices and GRB positions are being distributed, and GRB Burst Advocates are processing and supplying positions for GRB triggers. GBM data products are usually supplied by the instrument team to the Fermi Science Support Center and hosted on the HEASARC servers at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. These servers are offline during the U.S. government shutdown with the consequence that GBM data files have not been available. Data servers at GBM partner Max Planck Institute in Garching, Germany, have now been deployed to host GBM GRB trigger data until NASA GSFC resumes normal operations. GRB trigger data from October 1 2013 onwards are available for download at: http://www2011.mpe.mpg.de/gbm/ Procedures to supply these data products require human intervention and are thus subject to delays outside CET working hours.
