Description
This File contains the Parameters obtained by fitting Data to a Bi-Maxwellian Core-Beam Distribution. Under normal Circumstances, the first (slow) Population is the Core and the second (fast) Population is the Beam. When the Interplanetary Magnetic Field is folded back on itself due to Turbulence or other Processes the relation of the first and second Populations to the Core and Beam, respectively, is reversed (see, e.g., M.M. Neugebauer and B.E. Goldstein, AIP Conf. Proc. 1539, 46, 2013). The Vector Magnetic Field is given in RTN Coordinates and it was obtained for the Time at which the Peak of the Proton Distribution Function was measured. Only good Fits are retained.

Caveats
The Parameter "denrat" is equal to (dnft1+dnft2)/dens, where "dens" is the Value of the Density found in the Moments Calculation. This Value can be used as a further Consistency Check and ideally denrat would be equal to one. Data with vft1>vft2 are set to the FILLVAL, -1.0e30.
