Data Policy & Products

Hi-C is a publically funded sounding rocket program; therefore, it has an open data policy. However, a lot of hard work goes into researching, developing, and preparing user-friendly, scientific-quality data sets.

So please be sure to acknowledge appropriately, and let us know what you publish so that we can acknowledge your contributions as well!

Acknowledgements

When you publish your work with Hi-C data, please acknowledge the Hi-C program as follows:

Hi-C 1:

"We acknowledge the High resolution Coronal Imager instrument team for making the flight data publicly available. MSFC/NASA led the mission and partners include the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass.; Lockheed Martin's Solar Astrophysical Laboratory in Palo Alto, Calif.; the University of Central Lancashire in Lancashire, England; and the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow."

Hi-C 2.1:

"We acknowledge the High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C 2.1) instrument team for making the second re-flight data available under NASA proposal 17-HTIDS17_2-003. MSFC/NASA led the mission with partners including the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, the University of Central Lancashire, and the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory. Hi-C 2.1 was launched out of the White Sands Missile Range on 2018 May 29."
