This collection is contains the Saturn narrow band radio emission catalogue derived from Cassini RPWS data. The collection supplements: Wu et al. (2021), Statistical Study of Spatial Distribution and Polarization for Saturn Narrowband Emissions. The Astrophysical Journal 918 (64). IOP Publishing. doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ac0af1.
This collections contains two CSV files, providing the time intervals of each narrow band emission detected in the Cassini/RPWS dataset, as detailed in Wu et al. (2021):
NB20_list.txt: the 20-kHz event list.NB5_list.txt: the 5-kHz event list.It also contains two TFCat files, providing the same information using the TFCart specification (Cecconi et al. 2021):
NB20_list.json: the 20-kHz event list.NB5_list.json: the 5-kHz event list.The analysis was conducted on the Cassini/RWPS N2 and N3d goniopoalrimetric data (Cecconi et al. 2017a,b)
The table below describes the columns of the CSV data files:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Case_number | Event number in file |
| S_year | Start time (year) |
| S_doy | Start time (day of year) |
| S_hour | Start time (hour of day) |
| S_minute | Start time (minute of hour) |
| E_year | End time (year) |
| E_doy | End time (day of year) |
| E_hour | End time (hour of day) |
| E_minute | End time (minute of hour) |
| Mode | Radio wave propagation mode (0=LO, 2=Z) |
