IBEX-Lo digital maps every 6 months

ResourceID

spase://NASA/NumericalData/IBEX/Lo/Maps-TXT

Description

Hydrogen ENA fluxes in each of three IBEX-Lo energy bands in each of 21,600 [720(longitude) by 30(latitude)] bins, accumulated over 6 months. Bins are defined in J2000 ecliptic coordinates. Maps are available for energy bands 5 (209 eV), 6 (439 eV), and 7 (872 eV). Digital image files are between 290 and 310 KB in size. Images in PNG format are identified by VEPO as a separate data product.

Description

The array has 720 rows and 30 columns. Row 1 (30) is for the north (south) ecliptic polar region. The columns start at zero ecliptic longitude and step through to ecliptic longitude 360. The first and last columns have the same values.
