Recently, I plan to use TNG's Snapshots to simulate eROSITA observations. However, during the simulation process using SIXTE, an attitude file is required.

Following the SIXTE MANUAL, the current attitude file for eROSITA can either be downloaded from the SIXTE homepage or the eROSITA wiki page (https://wiki.mpe.mpg.de/eRosita/ScienceRelatedStuff)

However, I couldn't find the attitude file in the package related to eROSITA simulation that I downloaded from the SIXTE homepage. Also, I don't have permission to access the download page on eROSITA wiki page.

May I ask if there are any other channels to download the attitude file?

Hello,

You can access the attitude files of eROSITA via this webpage

https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/ExposureHiPS ... _attitude/

Please refer to the README to look into the time-intervals you mgiht need for your purpose as the files are divided into intervals of 1000 erodays.
