This page changes after each telemtry session, so hit the button NOW.
This table contains links to text files archiving the Sub_Sub_Threshold and Known_Source detections by Swift-BAT.
The most recent are listed first (reverse time order).
There are two columns; one for the Sub_Sub_Threshold links and one for Known_Sources links.
Each link is a text file of the detections for that UT calendar day (eg. yymmdd).
These daily bundles are done by the telemetry downlinks with a given day,
as such each file will contain 18 to 30 hours worth of Notices. This variation plus other variations
means that there will be ~500 to ~1600 entries per "daily" file.
See the bottom of this page for information on the format and content of these text files.
For more information on the Sub_Sub_Threshold and Known_Source notice types: Swift_Sub_Sub-n-Known.
For more information on the Swift-BAT instrument: Swift.

The order is not quite right. And there is a little difference between the SubSub's and the Known's.
Delta_Time Time between the TriggerTime and the GroundProcessingTime [sec]
NOTICE_TYPE 140 for the SubSub, and 141 for the Known's
SER_NUM Serial Number (assigned by GCN; episodically gets reset)
EVENT_DATE Date of the event [TJD]
EVENT_TIME Seconds-of-Day of the event [sec]
OBS_NUM Observation Number (Trigger Number plus Sequence Number bit fields printed a single decimal number)
RA Celestial location of the peak [deg, Current Epoch]
DEC Celestial location of the peak [deg, Current Epoch]
ERROR Location uncertainty [deg] {It's a fixed value for all entries}
INTENSITY Intensity of the peak [image_cnts/???]
SIGNIFICANCE Significance (SNR) of the peak sigma units
And files older than Jan 01, 2013 (120113), ie all the 2012 files, have 3 more columns that contain junk information:
junk Moon Distance [deg] (mistakenly included)
junk Moon Illumination [%] (mistakenly included)
junk total junk (mistakenly included)
