Abstract
Sixty-five known cosmic sources are currently being monitored using th e JPL Enhanced BATSE Occultation Package (EBOP). Daily source count ra tes in 16 energy channels along with their corresponding errors, both Poisson and systematic, are now becoming available to the community at the Compton Observatory Science Support Center (COSSC), and at the PI institution at MSFC. In this paper, we describe the EBOP system, it's capabilities and limitations. We also present a sample of source spec tra obtained for a Viewing Period and discuss issues related to the pr ocessing method and results.
