Particle Flux Maps

Top  Previous  Next

There are four files used for Particle Flux calculations:

 

For Electrons:

 

ae8max.bin.mod

ae8min.bin.mod

 

For Protons:

 

ap8max.bin.mod

ap8min.bin.mod

 

These particle-specific files are three-dimensional tables which contain particle fluxes in energy, L-value, and B/B0 (magnetic field strength normalized to the equator). These 'maps' are used for computing particle fluxes in the Spacecraft.ParticleFlux and Spacecraft.ParticleFluxTimes methods.
