STIX quick-look light curves represent time series of counts summed by the detector in five energy bands, with a default integration time of 4 seconds. The counts have not been adjusted for dead time, transmission, attenuator effects, or rate control regimes. The quick-look light curve data from STIX is transmitted to the ground along with other low-latency data. Generally, these data are received by STIX data centers within a timeframe ranging from tens of minutes to two days after their generation on board.
Counts are not corrected for dead time, transmission, impacts of the presence of the attenuator or rate control regimes. <br>

This page allows plotting STIX quick-look data and displaying simultaneous observations of external instruments.

1.1 STIX Quick-look Light Curves

STIX quick-look light curve panel

STIX quick-look light curves represent time series of counts summed by the detector in five energy bands, with a default integration time of 4 seconds. The counts have not been adjusted for dead time, transmission, attenuator effects, or rate control regimes. The quick-look light curve data from STIX is transmitted to the ground along with other low-latency data. Generally, these data are received by STIX data centers within a timeframe ranging from tens of minutes to two days after their generation on board.
