Abstract
      The A2 experiment was flown on the HEAO-1 satellite, between August, 1977 until January 1979. The experiment consisted of six multi-layer multi-anode collimated gas proportional counters. These were two LEDs (Low Energy Detectors), a MED (Medium Energy Detector), and three HEDs (High Energy Detectors). The first 6-months of mission were dedicated to an all-sky scan after which a pointing phase started. This database table accesses all the background files available at HEASARC obtained from the A2 MED (small and large field of view) and HEDs (1 and 3 small and large filed of view) detectors during the pointed phase. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
