Equator-S

The routines in this module can be used to load data from the Equator-S mission.

Instruments

• Fluxgate magnetometer (MAM)
• Electron beam sensing instrument (EDI)
• Electrostatic analyzer (3DA)
• Solid state detector (EPI)
• Time-of-fight spectrometer (ICI)
• Ion emitter (PCD)
• Scintillating fiber detector (SFD)

Examples

Get started by importing pyspedas and tplot; these are required to load and plot the data:

import pyspedas
from pytplot import tplot

Fluxgate magnetometer (MAM)

mam_vars = pyspedas.equator_s.mam(trange=['1998-04-06', '1998-04-07'])

tplot('B_xyz_gse%eq_pp_mam')

Electron beam sensing instrument (EDI)

edi_vars = pyspedas.equator_s.edi(trange=['1998-04-06', '1998-04-07'])

tplot('E_xyz_gse%eq_pp_edi')

Solid state detector (EPI)

epi_vars = pyspedas.equator_s.epi(trange=['1998-04-06', '1998-04-30'])

tplot(['J_e_1%eq_pp_epi', 'J_e_2%eq_pp_epi', 'J_e_3%eq_pp_epi'])

Time-of-fight spectrometer (ICI)

ici_vars = pyspedas.equator_s.ici(trange=['1998-04-06', '1998-04-07'])

tplot('V_p_xyz_gse%eq_pp_ici')

Ion emitter (PCD)

pcd_vars = pyspedas.equator_s.pcd(trange=['1998-04-06', '1998-04-07'])

tplot('I_ion%eq_pp_pcd')

Scintillating fiber detector (SFD)

sfd_vars = pyspedas.equator_s.sfd()

tplot('F_e>0.26%eq_sp_sfd')
