Description
The Pierre Auger Observatory has been taking data for more than 20 years. In this time, it has collected the world's largest dataset on ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. The Open Data Portal has been available since 2021. It currently hosts 10% of the data of the first phase of the Observatory, from 2004 to 2022, corresponding to the period in which the Observatory operated with the original detector hardware. This dataset is about to be expanded to 30% of the phase I data. This data set includes data from both the surface and the fluorescence detector. Additionally, the open dataset includes all scaler count-rates, data that are useful for solar physics or space weather studies. The data release is accompanied by Jupyter Notebooks illustrating the use of the data and the analyses used in publications, albeit with the reduced statistics of the open data. The Collaboration is committed to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles and is working to improve the FAIR compliance of the open dataset. The data have been used in several scientific publications and in outreach activities worldwide. We will present details of the upcoming data release and discuss some successful use cases.
