SWBATMONTR ivo://nasa.heasarc/swbatmontr NASA/GSFC HEASARC Krimm et al. 2026-10-09 NASA/GSFC HEASARC help desk heasarc-vo at athena.gsfc.nasa.gov Observation The SWBATMONTR database table records high-level information of the lightcurves from the sources monitored with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board of Swift. The Swift/BAT Monitoring Program is aimed at (1) the discovery of new transient X-ray sources, (2) the detection of outbursts or other changes in the flux of known X-ray sources, and (3) the generation of lightcurves of more than 1000 sources spanning the entire Swift lifetime. Swift is a NASA mission with international participation dedicated to the gamma-ray burst study. It carries three instruments. The BAT is the large field of view instrument and operates in the 10-300 keV energy band; and two narrow field instruments, XRT and UVOT, that operate in the X-ray and UV/optical regime, respectively. The BAT monitoring the sky in the field of view and provides alerts when detecting a burst of flux coming from a source in the field of view. The BAT monitoring lightcurves are generated by the BAT team over the course of the Swift mission. The HEASARC ingests these data in the archive and generates this database table by collecting high-level information from the data. The lightcurves are renamed to use a consistent naming convention, and the FITS header is updated by adding standard FITS keywords.
