1 HISAKI Level2 data basic with IDL Ver. 1.2 updated HISAKI/EXCEED team

2 Before using sample IDL codes 1. Installation of IDL (any version) 2. Sample IDL code and sample data 3. IDL library required in this doc 1. FITS I/O lib 2. SPICE lib (library and space kernel files)

3 1. Instruction of IDL Sample codes used in this doc are supported by any version of IDL IDL version 7.0 and later is recommended to use SPICE.

4 2. Sample IDL codes and sample data IDL sample code to read HISAKI level 2 data and HISAKI s sample data (Jupiter and Venus) are available from following web site IDL sample codes (2MB) Unzip idl_sample.zip and set IDL path to this directory The IDL path should be on upper level than IDL Default path (IDL_DEFAULT) Sample data (35MB) or (42MB) How to extract data_sample_v1_2.tgz $ tar zxvf data_sample_v1_2.tgz SPICE kernel used in this doc (735MB) In this doc, directories of the sample data and SPICE kernels are assumed to be C: HISAKI data euv l2 for sample Level 2 data C: HISAKI data euv cal for EUV Level 2 calibration table C: SPICE kernel for SPICE kernel files. Edit exc_set_env.pro according to directory structure in your computer pro exc_set_env defsysv, '!EXC_EUV_DIR', 'C: HISAKI data euv ' defsysv, '!EXC_SPICE_DIR', 'C: SPICE kernel ' dlm_register, 'C: SPICE icy lib icy.dlm' end

5 3. IDL library required in this doc(1) FITS I/O Download and unzip astron.zip and set IDL path to this directory. The IDL path should be on upper level than IDL Default path (IDL_DEFAULT) Coyote(IDL graphical library) Download and unzip coyote libs and set IDL path to these directories. The IDL path should be on upper level than IDL Default path (IDL_DEFAULT)

6 3. IDL library required in this doc(2) SPICE Download spice toolkit for IDL (icy.zip). Version of the toolkit depends on OS and IDL versions in your computer. For IDL older than 6.X, please refer the following URL. ftp://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/misc/ See toolkit_n00xx/idl/*/packages/readme to find IDL version Unzip icy.zip ex) C: SPICE icy Set IDL_DLM path Set the toolkit directory (C: SPICE icy) as a IDL_DLM path. e.g.) How to set IDL_DLM path from IDL command prompt IDL>dlm_register, ' C: SPICE icy lib icy.dlm'

7 3. IDL library required in this doc(3) How to confirm the SPICE toolkit installation IDL> help, 'icy', /dlm ** ICY IDL/CSPICE interface from JPL/NAIF (not loaded) Version: 1.6.0, Build Date: 03 MAY 2010, Source: Path: C: SPICE icy lib icy.dll How to get SPICE kernels The HISAKI spice kernels (not used in this doc) Generic kernels

8 HISAKI Level 2 data Basic with IDL 1. How to read and display L2 spectrograph image How to apply calibration table (x axis: pixel to Angstrom, y axis: pixel to arc sec) 2. How to accumulate 1 min L2 images during planet and sky observations separately. How to apply calibration table (z axis: counts/min/pixel to Rayleigh/Angstrom) 3. Set a region of interest (ROI) on the image and get average brightness in ROI. 4. Hot to calculate planet ephemeris with SPICE: Io orbital phase and CML

11 Structure of HISAKI L2 data A_data_format_definition_v1.0.pdf EUV L2 EUV L2 data is 2D (wavelength space) spectral data obtained during a fixed (1 minute) exposure time. The only primary data is the data header, which comprises several basic items such as the presence of any extensions. The Total extension provides QL data, integrating all photons for one day. Each YYYY MM DDThh:mm:ss extension corresponds to a single spectral image obtained during the period from the time given in the extension name and the end of the fixed exposure time(1 min). The image size is 32 bit x 1024 pixels x 1024 pixels. Each data file comprises the set of image data for 1 day of observations, and each item of image data in each extension is 4.2 MB in size. 1 day of observations produces approximately 3 GB of data.

Very low counts from Io plasma torus and Jupiter s aurora during this mode (Counts during this mode come from high energy charged particle contamination and MCP noise). (See 1 st and 2 nd panels) Near the South Atlantic Anomaly(SAA), contamination from high energy charged particle is not negligible. One should not use L2 data here (4 th panel). The aurora could be contaminated by geo corona emission. Be careful if you set the aurora ROI near the HI Ly alpha (2 nd panel, after UT20). Data Just after MCP s high voltage (HV) on and just before the HV off has low count rate. These should be removed (2 nd panel).
