Hi all,

Janos recently asked me for the combined Zeta Pup RGS data that I used in the resonance scattering paper. I recently re-reduced these data, including the most recent observations. David, Marc, I've copied you on this email in case you would like to download the data as well.

Things to note:

1. The old software had bugs in it that have been fixed, so the new reduction should generally be more trustworthy.

2. I haven't screened for intervals with large flares in the background count rate. I will get to this eventually, but the current data set is pretty good already.

3. There seem to be some problems in parts of the spectrum with hot pixels or irregularities in the CTE. Notably, the middle of the O VIII Ly alpha line in RGS 1 seems to be unreliable.

4. Both first and second order data are available.

The data can be downloaded for the next ten days from:
