Akebono Low Energy Particle (LEP) data
Overview
Description
This dataset contains Akebono Low Energy Particle (LEP) data.
LEP has 29ch in Energy and 18ch in Pitch-angle (every 10 degree). Following is conversion table of “from channel to energy”, and from count-rate to flux / phase-density".
| Ch -> E [eV] | COUNT -> J [1/cm2 s sr eV] | J -> f [s3/m6] | |
| Electron | 10.2 e0.25466 Ch | COUNT/(5.8 10-5E) | 1.616 10-19 (J/E) |
| Ion | 12.5 e0.25466*Ch | COUNT/(2.3 10-4E) | 5.449 10-13 (J/E) (Mi/Mp/Q)2 |
LEP count rate data may still contain background noise depending on pitch angles. The data less than 1000 cps may be unreliable. Those less than 300 cps may be very unreliable.
If you have any questions or request for the data, please contact DARTS.
