PITCH ANGLES (TAIL)

PITCH OBJECTS

To get CORALL, PROMICS, ELECTRON or DOK instrument pitch angles one can use either high resolution or KP (two minutes averaged) magnetic field data. Magnetic field data, obtained by any magnetometer onboard INTERBALL/TAIL satellite was processed by A. Petrukovitch, N. Ryb'eva, A. Scalsky and S. Romanov (IKI RAN).
Available objects are:

PITCHKP - Pitch angle calculated for 2 minutes averaged MF for CORALL, PROMICS, ELECTRON, DOK instruments in degrees. The object is called with 2 parameters defining instrument and detector: 'C'=CORALL (Detectors 0 - 4). 'E'=ELECTRON (Detectors 0 - 7). 'PT'=PROMICS-TRICS (Detectors 0 - 4). 'PM'=PROMICS-MEPS (Detectors 0 - 7). 'D'=DOK (Detectors 0 - 1).
PITCHSC - Pitch angle calculated for high resolution magnetic field data. The object is called with 3 parameters defining instrument, detector and magnetometer. 'C'=CORALL (Detectors 0 - 4). 'E'=ELECTRON (Detectors 0 - 7). 'PT'=PROMICS-TRICS (Detectors 0 - 4). 'PM'=PROMICS-MEPS (Detectors 0 - 7). 'D'=DOK (Detectors 0 - 1). Magnetometer parameter: 0 - FM3, 1 - MIF.
PITCHKPA - The same as PITCHKP but for arbitrary direction. The object is called with 2 parameters defining polar angle (with s/c X-axis, positive direction is toward Sun) and azimuthal angle (in YZ s/c plane counting from +Y to +Z). Angle's values are in degrees.
PITCHSCA - The same as PITCHSC but for arbitrary direction.The object is called with 3 parameters defining polar angle (with s/c X-axis, positive direction is toward Sun), azimuthal angle (in YZ s/c plane counting from +Y to +Z) and magnetometer ( 0 - FM3, 1 - MIF ). Angle's values are in degrees.

NOTE:
Yrange for these objects should be specified.

NOTE:
PITCHKP and PITCHKPA objects are available only if there is attitude data.
