AKEBONO Radiation Dose, RDM, Instrument

ResourceID
spase://SMWG/Instrument/Akebono/RDM

Description

AKEBONO, also known as EXOS-D, satellite has undertaken studies of particle-acceleration processes in the auroral magnetosphere. The Radiation Monitor, RDM, on AKEBONO consists of the High energy Particle Monitor, HPM, and the monitor for Radiation effect on IC, RIC. RDM data files hosted on the Science Data Base, SDB, are summary files for the HPM data. HPM observes fluxes of electrons in three energy channels, protons in three energy channels, and alpha particles in one energy channel. The table below is adapted from text listed at the following UL: http://www.stp.isas.jaxa.jp/akebono/readme/readme.rdm.txt.
