Description

Lists of magnetopause (boundary_crossings_caracteristics_MP.pdf, boundary_crossings_caracteristics_MP.csv) and bow shock crossings (boundary_crossings_caracteristics_BS.pdf, boundary_crossings_caracteristics_BS.csv), as measured by Juno/Waves and Juno/MAG (see below to download the files).


For each crossing, number of the crossing (MP#), day of the year (DOY), date (year/month/day format) and time (hours:minutes format) are indicated, as well as the boundary crossed (magnetopause in this case), the direction of the crossing (in: from the magnetosphere to the magnetosheath; out: from the magnetosheath to the magnetosphere). The column “Notes” indicates whether the magnetopause has potentially not been completely crossed (see Fig. 1c of the article). Position of the crossings are given in the Cartesian JSS (Jupiter-­‐De-­Spun-­Sun) and IAU (International Astronomical Union) coordinate systems, and IAU spherical coordinates system. Finally, the dynamic pressure of the solar wind, and the standoff distance of the magnetopause and the bow shock, derived from the model of Joy et al. (2002), are given in the last three columns.

header = ['#',    "Day of Year",    "Date (year/month/day)",    "Time (HH:MM)",    "Boundary",    "In/Out",    "Notes",    "x (JSS)",    "y (JSS)",    "z (JSS)", "x (IAU)",    "y(IAU)",    "z (IAU)",    "r (IAU)",    "theta (IAU)",    "phi (IAU)",    "Dynamic Pressure (nPa)",    "Magnetopause Standoff Distance (Jovian radius)",    "Bow Shock Standoff Distance (Jovian radius)"]

A python function to read the lists is provided (read_boundary_crossings_list.py).

Example:

from read_boundary_crossings_list import *

(header, indice, date, boundary, direction_crossing, notes, xyz_jss, xyz_iau, rtp_iau, pdyn, standoff_dist_mp, standoff_dist_bs) = read_boundary_crossings_list("boundary_crossings_caracteristics_MP.csv")
