Data and Figure files for "Observations and Simulations of the Ribbon at IBEX-Lo Energies (~0.2-0.9 keV)"
收藏资源简介:
This upload contains data and figure files for all figures presented in Zirnstein et al. (2026, ApJ). It has been updated to fix Figures 7-10 due to a miscalculation of the simulated GDF. The latest update includes the figures and data files for the difference maps in Figures 8-10. It provides the data in .txt files to reproduce all figures shown in Zirnstein et al., as well as copies of the figures themselves in PDF format. Descriptions of the data file format for reproducing the plots can be found in each data file. Note that in the modeling results, some pixels show intensities much smaller than 1, but not zero. These are real values, but not physically meaningful in the context of the data measurements. Therefore, one should interpret anything <~0.1 as practically zero at these IBEX-Lo energies. In the modeling results, pixels that report zero intensity are physically meaningful, showing that there is literally no ribbon intensity at that direction in the sky. In the IBEX-Lo data, pixels that report zero intensity reflect (1) gaps in data measurements, (2) high noise background removal, or (3) directions in the sky that were not measured by the spacecraft due to the lack of anti-ram frame measurements. The last point (3) is clearly seen over half of the sky due to the fact that we compare to only ram frame data, which only covers half of the sky.
