Description

Raw text files
The collection is composed of three text files containing the northern and southern High Frequency Limit (HFL) for the Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR) as observed in Cassini/RPWS/HFR data:

Reading the raw data

Python code to load the data:

from astropy.time import Time
from astropy.units import Unit
import numpy

with open("SKRHFLderived_time_Format_t1997_v0830.txt", 'r') as f:
   t = f.readline()
t = numpy.array(t.split(), dtype=float)
t = Time('1997-01-01') + (t - 1) * Unit('d')
print(f'Time range: {t[0].iso} to {t[-1].iso}')

with open("SKRHFLderived_HFL_N_v0830.txt", 'r') as f:
   n = f.readline()
n = numpy.array(n.split(), dtype=float) * Unit('kHz')

with open("SKRHFLderived_HFL_S_v0830.txt", 'r') as f:
   s = f.readline()
s = numpy.array(s.split(), dtype=float) * Unit('kHz')

Coverage and sampling

Time range : 2004-01-01 to 2017-09-15
Spectral range : 98.9 kHz to 1.29 MHz

Location: Saturn
