The HEXOS data are organized into seven directories, each representing a different molecular cloud as follows:

  • orionb/ [Orion Bar]
  • orionkl/ [Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula]
  • orionkl_maps/ [Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula maps]
  • orions/ [Orion South]
  • sgrb2m/ [Sagittarius B2(M)]
  • sgrb2n/ [Sagittarius B2(N)]
  • sgrb2s/ [Sagittarius B2(S)]
Each directory has a data/ subdirectory, which contains HIFI spectra in both IPAC Table format (ascii/) and in FITS format (fits/). The Orion Kleinmann-Low nebula (orionkl) also has model fits in the model/ subdirectory. The Orion KL Maps and Sgr B2(S) data are provided as tar files only.
