These data were originally archived in the following PDS3 data set: GO-V-EPD-4-SUMM-5.0MIN-V1.0 (https://doi.org/10.17189/1519697). Collection Overview =================== This collection contains 5 minute averages for the energetic particle detector rate data obtained from the LEMMS telescope during the time the detector was operated during the Venus encounter. The data are recorded in 5 minute averages for each of 17 LEMMS channels. (The CMS telescope was not powered up during the Venus encounter.) All of the data was taken with the telescope perpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis (motor step position = 4). The rates reported are in units of counts/sec. Each entry is averaged over a 5 minute time span to reduce the amount of data more condusive for browsing. NOTE ================== Data in this collection includes only that data which has valid data flag markers as a result of processing done by the Galileo Energetic Particles Detector Archive Processor. A gap in the data exists from ~06:38 to ~07:38. Depending on the tools used for EPD data analysis, it is possible to encounter the pitch angle of the detector being substituted for the pitch angle of the charged particles. For example, in Figure 4 of Williams et al. (1998), J. Geophys. Res., 103, 17,523-17,534, the authors show a loss at 0 deg PA, which if viewed carefully must be at 180 deg PA. It is therefore useful to exercise caution with pitch angles in the EPD data, depending on how the data are obtained.
