END_OBJECT = TEXT END BROWSE Directory Contents The directories in this directory are a series of JPG files that provide a simple method for browsing through the NEAR MAG archive. The system is designed to be viewable by many WWW browsers. The BROWSE directory has a structure identical to the data directories on this CD, where each contains plots of NEAR MAG data in NEAR Sun Orbital (NSO)and Eros Body Fixed (EBF) coordinate systems. NEAR Sun Orbital (NSO) coordinates are Cartesian coordinates defined with respect to the NEAR-Sun line and the orbit plane of Eros. The X-axis points from NEAR to the Sun, the Z direction is given by the Eros velocity vector crossed into X, northward normal to the Eros orbital plane, and Y completes the right-handed set. Eros Body Fixed (EBF) coordinate system has its Z-axis along the Eros spin axis, the X-axis is in the Eros equatorial plane, and lies in the direction of the prime meridian. The Y-axis completes the right-handed set. Data used for the plots are the same as those provided in ASCII format in this data set. Spacecraft position relative to Sun is indicated at the top by radial distance and solar ecliptic longitude and latitude. NEAR position relative to Eros is shown in two ways. In the top panel, NEAR location relative to Eros is shown by Clock Angle and Excursion Angle. In the bottom two panels, NEAR location relative to Eros is indicated by longitude, latitude, and distance, defined in EBF coordinates.
