@MISC{vo:auger_main, year=2013, title={Pierre Auger Observatory public data}, author={The Pierre Auger Collaboration}, url={https://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/tableinfo/auger.main}, howpublished={{VO} resource provided by the {GAVO} Data Center} }
This data set contains 28493 high-energy cosmic ray events recorded by the Pierre Auger Telescope (Mendoza/Argentina) recorded since 2004. The number of events in this sample corresponds to 1% of the total number of events.
Details about this data set are documented at http://www.auger.org/education/GAP2012_137.pdf.
Included are the event ID, the number of stations which participated in the event, the right ascension and the declination of the incident cosmic rays in degrees, the reconstructed energy of the event, the Modified Julian Day (MJD), and the galactic longitude and latitude.
All public Auger events can also be browsed via a web interface at http://auger.colostate.edu/ED/.
