Public INTEGRAL TOO observation of AXP 1E1547.0-5408
====================================================

INTEGRAL has performed a public Target of Opportunity (TOO) observation
of the current flaring activity period of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar
(AXP) 1E1547.0-5408. This TOO was triggered by the detection by the
SPI anti-coincidence shield (ACS) of about 200 intense gamma-ray
flares from this source. More info at:
http://isdc.unige.ch/~beckmann/english/AXP.html

The Public TOO (source 1E1547.0-5408, obsid 06700010001) has taken
place during the revolution 767, starting on 2009-01-24T15:30:59. The
near real time (NRT) data have been made available by the ISDC to all
observers with a delay of a few hours from acquisition by the
satellite. Some preliminary results have been announced in ATel #1908:

The NRT data can be downloaded from ISDC for this revolution number
0767 by:
rsync -lrtv isdcarc.unige.ch::arc/FTP/arc_distr/NRT/public/scw/0767/ your_destination/scw/0767

The directory "your_destination/scw" must be created in advance.

The auxiliary data can be downloaded by the command:
rsync -lrtv isdcarc.unige.ch::arc/FTP/arc_distr/NRT/public/aux/ your_destination/aux

Please note that near real time data can be affected by a number of
defects and approximate auxiliary information.
