Description

After a year of operation, we have become well acquainted with HETE's in-orbit background. In particular, as it is near solar maximum, we have observed through intense periods of geomagnetic disturbance. We describe the resulting deviations from our mean backgrounds. Aside from these periods, the background has been quite stable over this first year. We compare the averaged background in the WXM and Fregate instruments for the months of March and September, 2001
