PLEASE NOTE:

The RXTE SOF managed real-time science operations for the RXTE satellite. RXTE was decommissioned on January 5, 2012, after 16 years of science operations. Hence, science operations are no longer being carried out. The links below are presented to assist in analysis of archival data. For more information, see the RXTE Archive and RXTE Data Analysis Web pages.
