Description

This is a NASA NICER observation of the accreting black hole MAXI 1820+070 during its 2018 outburst

The raw X-ray event data in FITS format were obtained from the NICER archive at HEASARC:

https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/W3Browse/w3hdprods.pl?files=Preview&Coordinates=Equatorial&Equinox=2000&CheckSize=1&showgifs=1&Target=heasarc%5Fnicermastr%7C%7C%7C%5F%5Frow%3D30877%7C%7C&popupFrom=&querytime=1708425079

Processing:  
We ran the barycorr FTOOL, using the JPL DE 430 ephemeris (all details of processing can be found in the header of the FITS file). 

We distribute it to be used as practice data for Spectral Timing tutorials. Scientific use might require better processing, involving a re-run of the Level-2 data pipeline.
