STIX Tutorials

This is a collection of tutorials prepared by the STIX team and other partners.

1 Data Acquisition

1.1 Download data from STIX data center

STIX data can be downloaded from the Data Center website. One can use the data center python interface stixdcpy to query/download STIX data. stixdcpy allows querying, downloading and plotting the following data:

• Quick-look light curves
• Housekeeping data
• Science data
• Energy calibration data
• Auxiliary data (ephemeris, pointing, light travel time, etc.)
• STIX solar flare list
