This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

International Cometary Explorer Energetic Particle Anisotropy Spectrometer Observations of Comet Giacobini-Zinner

Status: ARCHIVED

Abstract: In this G-Z dataset, observations from channels E1 to E5 (table below) are included since cometary ions were not detected in the higher energy channels. For each of these channels, particle counts are accumulated in eight azimuthal sectors of 45 deg. width in each telescope. The sectors are numbered from 1 to 8 anticlockwise when viewed from above the ecliptic, with Sector 1 centered on the sun- Earth line, i.e. it views in the sunward direction and detects ions streaming away from the Sun. At Giacobini-Zinner, a complete 3- dimensional distribution function was obtained at 32 s intervals during the main encounter phase, changing to 64 s at greater distances e.g. after 1830 UT on 12 September outbound.
