Dataset supporting: "Solar Orbiter Observations of Proton Core and Beam Populations: Evolution, Relative Drifts, and Heating Rates"

This repository contains the HDF5 dataset supporting the analyses and results presented in the manuscript: "Solar Orbiter Observations of Proton Core and Beam Populations: Evolution, Relative Drifts, and Heating Rates" The repository consists of a single HDF5 file (core_beam_data.h5, approximately 25 GB) containing measured and derived plasma parameters used in this study. The data are organized into three primary groups: /both — general properties not asscociated with the fitting results such as timestaps, L2 Moments, B-field data and heliocentric distance. The SWA-PAS L2 moments data are obtained from the publically available datasets at the Solar Orbiter archive (https://soar.esac.esa.int/soar/). The magnetic field data in this dataset is averaged over the PAS measuring intervals, matching them in resolution. The original, higher resolution, measurements are obtained from the normal mode observations of the MAG instrument, also available in the Solar Orbiter Archive. /core_beam — parameters derived from core-beam fitting and other relevant parameters such as goodness of fit metrics. /core — parameters derived from core-beam fitting and other relevant parameters such as goodness of fit metrics. Included parameters comprise quantities such as particle densities, velocities, temperatures (parallel, perpendicular, and total), magnetic field information, plasma beta values, anisotropy measures and goodness of fit metrics. A detailed description of all parameters, the HDF5 hierarchy, and usage examples is provided in the accompanying README.md file. This dataset contains the core and beam proton parameters used for the analyses presented in the associated manuscript and is provided to support reproducibility and future reuse. File included: core_beam_data.h5 (~25 GB) File format: HDF5 (.h5) Software compatibility: Python (h5py) MATLAB HDFView R (rhdf5)
