Build Swift-XRT products.

Version 1.10 of the Python API has been released as part of swifttools v3.0. Users are advised to update, and see the Release notes.
On 2022 August 5 we added some new options for spectral fitting to this service.

This web-form is not designed for bulk processing of large numbers of datasets. If you have a large project you wish to perform, please use the API; the documentation includes an example of how to submit a large number of jobs piecemeal, so as not to overload our servers.

Automatically included details of SWIFT J194050.5+380514

Using this form you can build an XRT light curve, spectrum or enhanced position of any point source observed by Swift. Full documentation for this process is given in the online documentation. You need to be registered to use this service. [Why?].

There are still open issues related to the analysis of Swift-XRT data. Please read the XRT digest pages before drawing conclusions from the products you generate here.

Determining how many active jobs you have…

Processing will be performed using HEASOFT v6.32.
