MESSENGER - EPS - pitch angles
ReleaseDate

Description
The dataset contains the pitch angle for each of the six look directions reported at the same cadence as the EPS
LoRes Spectral rate measurements (see EPPS CDR SIS document).
Please note that the D03 detector on EPS has a very high background and is
not useable for any science data product.

Caveats
EPS PDS data products are derivate from the “Shaped” channel on EPS which is an integrated (hardware) channel.
The hardware channel responded to all particles (ion and electron) that are above the threshold (~30 keV).
Our experience at Mercury’s magnetosphere is that the primary particles are mostly energetic electrons.
Please note that the D03 detector on the EPS has a very high background and is not useable for any of these science data products.
