The spacecraft position is in the VESTA FIXED frame, Claudia double prime coordinate system. The direction to body center is in the spacecraft frame and thus does not depend on the coordinate system used (Claudia or Claudia double prime). The spacecraft clock ticks (SCLK), which mark the end of each accumulation interval are provided for each science data record. SCLK marks the end of the science accumulation interval with 1s precision and is used to calculate the mid-point ephemeris time, which is presented in UTC time format and in seconds. SCLK also serves as a 9-digit serial code that uniquely identifies each science data record. GRaND L1A and L1B science data files include SCLK as an identifier, such that values for the same record can be easily extracted from different tables. The position, direction to body center, and solid angle values are referenced to the midpoint of the accumulation interval, which is TELREADOUT (s)long. The live time (LIVE_TIME) is the amount of time during the accumulation interval that the instrument was available to process events. Unbiased counting rates can be determined by dividing counts by LIVE_TIME. The measurement geometry is determined by the solid angle subtended by Vesta at the spacecraft (with units of steradians). Counting rates, with background contributions removed, vary in proportion to the solid angle. Thus, the solid angle values can be used to eliminate measurement geometry effects to reveal compositional variations on the surface of Vesta. SOLID_ANGLE was determined using the methods described by PRETTYMANETAL2011 and PRETTYMANETAL2012 using a Digital Terrain Model provided by the Dawn navigation team (GASKELL_CLAUDIA_2014_05_13). The interconnected quadrilateral (ICQ) format was converted to a triangle-vertex model, which was decimated, retaining 1% of the triangles. The decimated shape model used for the solid angle calculation is provided in EXTRAS in STereoLithography (STL) format (binary) and as a Type 1 triangle-vertex file (ascii). The spacecraft EQUIVALENT_ALTITUDE (km) was also determined for each science accumulation interval from SOLID_ANGLE. The EQUIVALENT_ALTITUDE is the distance from a sphere of the same volume as Vesta (with a radius, R_EQ of 261.5km) that gives the same SOLID_ANGLE as determined from the shape model: EQUIVALENT_ALTITUDE = R_EQ / sqrt{ 1 - [ 1 - SOLID_ANGLE/(2*PI) ]^2} - R_EQ The subsatellite distance (SUBSAT_DIST), which is the distance from the spacecraft to the surface of the shape model in the direction of body center, is also provided. All SPICE and solid angle calculations were carried out in the Claudia coordinate system. The spacecraft position LON, POS_X, and POS_Y) was then rotated into the Claudia Double Prime (CDP) coordinate system. The spice kernels were obtained from the PDS archive; however, the Planetary Constants Kernel (PCK) for Vesta has been updated to accompany the latest shape model. The revised PCK accompanies this data set (dawn_vesta_v04b.tpc). Longitudes were rotated into the CDP system from Claudia using the following procedure: 1. Subtract 210 degrees from Claudia longitude 2. If the result is less than -180 degrees, add 360 The cartesian coordinates of the spacecraft in the CDP fixed frame (POS_X, POS_Y, POS_Z) was determined from Claudia values (POS_XC, POS_YC, POS_ZC) by: PHI= arc_tangent( POS_YC, POS_XC ) W = POS_ZC / DIST GAMMA = SQRT ( 1 - W^2 ) POS_X = GAMMA * cosine( PHI ) POS_Y = GAMMA & sine ( PHI ) POS_Z = POS_ZC The triples and higher-order coincidence counting rate (TRIPLES_RATE) is provided for each science accumulation interval. TRIPLES_RATE is a proxy for the interaction rate of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) with the instrument and can be used to correct for temporal variations in gamma ray and neutron production within the regolith of Vesta. Large deviations from the local mean of the time series may be due to solar energetic particle events, cycling of the instrument state (e.g. power-on and HV ramp up), or other conditions. No attempt has been made to remove corrupt or anomalous data. See grand_l1a_vesta_ds.cat for a description of data quality and coverage for counting products.
