This CDROM contains summary spectra and light curves from the Solid State Spectrometer (SSS), and Monitor Proportional Counter (MPC) and data from the Focal Plane Chrystal Spectrometer (FPCS) instruments flown aboard the High Energy Astronomical Satellite 2 (HEAO 2 - the Einstein Observatory). The FPCS data include lists of every photon detected during each observation as well as summary spectra. The MPC data were chosen to coincide as closely as possible with the SSS data. Included are the MPC background, response, rate, and spectral files. Together these data provide good spectral coverage in the X-ray regime of many sources. All of the data files are in FITS format (Flexible Image Transport System) using the binary table format extension.
