IBEX High Energy Neutral Atom Imager (Hi) Data Release 04, not Compton-Getting corrected, not Survival Probability corrected, Omnidirectional, West Longitude Ecliptic Maps, Level H3 (H3), three year average Data

* 1: The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has operated in space since 2008 updating our knowledge of the outer heliosphere and its interaction with the local interstellar medium. Start-time: 2008-12-25. There are currently 14 releases of IBEX-HI and/or IBEX-LO data covering 2009-2011.\n* 2: This data set is from the Release 4 (3 year-cadence) IBEX-Hi map data for the years 2009-2011 in the form of omnidirectional ENA (hydrogen) fluxes with no Compton-Getting correction (nocg) of flux spectra for spacecraft motion and no correction for ENA survival probability (nosp) between 1 and 100 AU.\n* 3. The data consist of all-sky maps in Solar Ecliptic Longitude (east and west) and Latitude angles for ENA (hydrogen) fluxes from IBEX-Hi energy bands 2-6 in numerical data form. Energy channels 2-6 have FWHM ranges of 0.52-0.95, 0.84-1.55, 1.36-2.50, 1.99-3.75, 3.13-6.00 keV, respectively. The corresponding center-point energies are 0.71, 1.11, 1.74, 2.73, and 4.29 keV. Details of the data and enabled science from Release 10 are given in the following journal publication:\n* 4: McComas, D. J., et al. (2017), Seven Years of Imaging the Global Heliosphere with IBEX, Astrophys. J. Supp. Ser., 229(2), 41 (32 pp.),\n* 5: http://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4365/aa66d8\n* 6. The following codes are used to define dataset types:\n- cg = Compton-Getting corrections have been applied to the data to account for the speed of the spacecraft relative to the direction of arrival of the ENAs.\n- nocg = no Compton-Getting corrections\n- sp = survival probability corrections have been applied to the data to account for the loss of ENAs due to radiation pressure, photoionization and ionization via charge exchange with solar wind protons as they stream through the heliosphere. This correction scales the data out from IBEX at 1 AU to ~100 AU. In the original data this mode is denoted as Tabular.\n- noSP - no survival probability corrections have been applied to the data.\n- omni = data from all directions.\n- ram = data was collected when the spacecraft was ramming into the incoming ENAs.\n- antiram = data was collected when the spacecraft was moving away from the incoming ENAs.\n* 7. The following list associates Release 4 map numbers (1-6) with mission year (1-3) each year is associated with two consecutive maps:\n- Map 1: Map2009A, year 1, orbits 11-34, dates 12/25/2008-06/25/2009\n- Map 2: Map2009B, year 1, orbits 35-58, dates 06/25/2009-12/25/2009\n- Map 3: Map2010A, year 2, orbits 59-82, dates 12/25/2009-06/26/2010\n- Map 4: Map2010B, year 2, orbits 83-106, dates 06/26/2010-12/26/2010\n- Map 5: Map2011A, year 3, orbits 107-130a, dates 12/26/2010-06/25/2011\n- Map 6: Map2011B, year 3, orbits 130b-150a, dates 06/25/2011-12/24/2011\n* 8: This particular data set, denoted in the original ascii files as comb-year123, includes pixel map data from all directions (omnidirectional), noCG, noSP, 3 year cadence.
