electron_dists

heliopy.data.helios.electron_dists(probe, starttime, endtime, remove_advect=False, verbose=False)

Return 2D electron distributions between starttime and endtime

Parameters:
  • probe (int) – Helios probe to import data from. Must be 1 or 2.
  • starttime (datetime) – Start of interval
  • endtime (datetime) – End of interval
  • remove_advect (bool, optional) –

    If False, the distribution is returned in the spacecraft frame.

    If True, the distribution is returned in the solar wind frame, by subtracting the spacecraft velocity from the velcoity of each bin. Note this significantly slows down reading in the distribution.

  • verbose (bool, optional) – If True, print dates when loading files. Default is False.
Returns:

dists – Electron distribution functions
Return type:
