Trapped particle radiation

Overview

SPENVIS can run trapped particle radiation models for Jupiter over a spacecraft trajectory. This feature is available for advanced users only.

In order to run these models, a spacecraft trajectory is needed. If no trajectory has been generated yet, the orbit generator should be run first.

The input parameters and options for the trapped particle radiation models are described below. When the input form has been completed, pressing the button will start the calculation and bring up the "Results" page.

The button calls up the model selection page for consecutive runs of multiple models.

Warning: using these buttons deletes all existing output from the trapped radiation models and from any model that uses this output, in order to ensure consistency in the outputs.

Input parameters

Model selection

Select a trapped proton and a trapped electron model by means of the respective selection menus.

Results

The radiation models produce the files listed in the table below. A description of the file formats can be brought up by clicking on their description in the table.

The report file spenvis_trp.html contains the input parameters and summary tables. The orbit averaged spectra for trapped protons and electrons are stored in the spenvis_tri.txt file. The spectrum files spenvis_spp.txt and spenvis_spe.txt contain, for each orbital point, the full spectra of trapped protons and electrons, respectively.

Note that when flux values are extrapolated, data are included in spenvis_tri.txt, spenvis_spp.txt and spenvis_spe.txt files for later use. However, these values are listed in grey in the report file spenvis_trp.html.

Output files generated by the trapped radiation models
File name Description
spenvis_trp.html Report file
spenvis_tri.txt Orbit averaged spectra for SHIELDOSE(-2), NIEL, EQFLUX
spenvis_spp.txt Proton spectra for each orbital point
spenvis_spe.txt Electron spectra for each orbital point

To generate plots, select the plot type(s), options and graphics format, and click the or button. The current page will be updated with the newly generated plot files.

The button calls up the output page for consecutive runs of multiple models. This button only appears when the trapped radiation models have been included in the combined model run selection.
