论文摘要
从1994年至今(6月2022年),我们提供了由Konus-Wind仪器注册的太阳耀斑数据库。不断更新的数据库(以下称为KW-SUN)包含在乐器触发模式下检测到的1000多个事件,可在http://www.ioffe.ru/lea/lea/kwsun/上在线访问。对于每种耀斑,数据库在能量范围内提供时间分辨的能量光谱,从〜20 keV到〜15 meV的格式,以及三个宽的能带G1(〜20-80 keV),G2(〜80-300 keV)和G3(〜300-1200 keV)的计数速率光曲线,具有较高的时间分辨率(〜300-1200 keV),并及时分辨率(下调16毫秒)和16毫秒。本文重点介绍了太阳观测,KW-SUN数据的结构及其预期用法的仪器功能。在两个以上的太阳周期中,在广泛的能量范围内获得的均匀数据集对统计和案例研究以及太阳耀斑研究的上下文数据来源都是有益的。
We present a database of solar flares registered by the Konus-Wind instrument during more than 27 years of operation, from 1994 November to now (2022 June). The constantly updated database (hereafter KW-Sun) contains over 1000 events detected in the instrument's triggered mode and is accessible online at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/kwsun/. For each flare, the database provides time-resolved energy spectra in energy range from ~20 keV to ~15 MeV in FITS format along with count rate light curves in three wide energy bands G1 (~20-80 keV), G2 (~80-300 keV), and G3 (~300-1200 keV) with high time resolution (down to 16 ms) in ASCII and IDL SAV formats. This article focuses on the instrument capabilities in the context of solar observations, the structure of the KW-Sun data and their intended usage. The presented homogeneous data set obtained in the broad energy range with high temporal resolution during more than two full solar cycles is beneficial for both statistical and case studies as well as a source of context data for solar flare research.
