IBEX
 
Public Data
Every six months, IBEX makes a full map of ENAs from the heliosphere. The IBEX Science Team will release data related to these new maps twice a year. The data and documentation for them can be found on links on this page.

Descriptions of the IBEX mission and sensors published in Space Science Reviews can be downloaded here:

Please note: IBEX sky maps, calibration data, and other products posted here were used for the initial IBEX publications in Science magazine. All IBEX data products are continually evolving and being improved as we learn more and improve our analysis techniques. The IBEX team is delighted to work with outside scientists who want to work with IBEX data; we urge you to contact us (email Nathan Schwadron, nathanas@bu.edu) and collaborate directly with the IBEX Science Team.

Time Series Data
The Time Series data files contain the count rates seen by the IBEX sensors in both direct event (DE) and histogram (HB) modes. The documentation file explains the details.
The Time Series data can be accessed by clicking here.
Map Data
The IBEX Map data files plot the IBEX Hi and Lo flux rates onto the celestial sphere, in J2000 ecliptic coordinates. The flux maps are sums over a six-month period (orbits 9-31) and are broken out by sensor energy band (Hi bands 2-6, Lo bands 5-7).
Also included are plots of Hydrogen and Oxygen rates based on time-of-flight measurements.
The Maps data can be accessed by clicking here.
Calibration Data
The Calibration Data files give all information about the IBEX sensors required to understand the collected data. The calibration data can be accessed by clicking here. The documentation file explains the details.
