Public INTEGRAL Crab and GRB 100915B observations
=================================================

INTEGRAL performed a public calibration observation of the Crab Nebula
during revolutions 966 to 968. A gamma-ray burst appeared in the field
of view of INTEGRAL during this observation (rev. 967) and thus the data
of GRB 100915B are also public.

The NRT data can be downloaded from ISDC for these revolutions with the
following command (e.g. for rev. 0967):
rsync -lrtv isdcarc.unige.ch::arc/FTP/arc_distr/NRT/public/scw/0967/ your_destination/scw/0967

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

In addition a public TOO observation of the Crab was performed in
rev. 970. The corresponding data can also be downloaded following
the same procedure as given above.

Please be aware that the near real time data can be affected by a
number of defects, e.g.:
- inaccurate pointing information,
- approximate auxiliary information,
- missing auxiliary information (time correlation files).

The final consolidated data will be available in the INTEGRAL Archive
typically 6 weeks after the end of the observation. They can be download
similarly by just replacing "NRT" by "CONS" in the commands above.
