BiSON Time Series

These data are calibrated from the raw observations into radial velocity. The type of calibration has a large impact on the signal-to-noise ratio of the final time series. For details on this procedure please see 10.1093/mnras/stu803.

If making use of these data, please cite both 10.1007/s11207-015-0810-0 and 10.1093/mnras/stu803 in any publications.

If you would like a specific time period of data or have a special processing request, please contact us for a bespoke solution.
