Collection Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:mess-mag-raw:data-bst::1.0
NAME MESSENGER MAG Raw Burst Science Data Collection
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This collection contains snapshots of MAG vector samples, or burst sampling, over a time span of 8 minutes, at a rate of 20 samples per second for a total of 9600 vector samples. The burst data give information about waves and turbulent phenomena expected to occur at the magnetospheric boundaries and elsewhere in association with pickup processes of volatile species as they are photo-ionized. Typically one burst period will be recorded every day of orbit operations.
