    • PSP Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) SPAN-A Electron Pitch Angle Distributions, Level 3 (L3), 13.981 s Data

    Metadata Updated: April 10, 2026

    • SPAN-Electron, SPAN-E, Instrument SPE Level 3 Data\n --------------------------------------------------\n\nFile Naming Format: psp_swp_spa_sf0_l3_pad_YYYYMMDD_v01.cdf\n\nThis data product contains measurements of the Electron Pitch Angle Distribution from the SPAN-A instrument.\n\n Parker Solar Probe SWEAP Rules of the Road\n ------------------------------------------\n\nAs part of the development of collaboration with the broader Heliophysics community, the mission has drafted a "Rules of the Road" to govern how PSP instrument data are to be used.\n\n 1) Users should consult with the PI to discuss the appropriate use of instrument data or model results and to ensure that the users are accessing the most recently available versions of the data and of the analysis routines. Instrument team Science Operations Centers, SOCs, and/or Virtual Observatories, VOs, should facilitate this process serving as the contact point between PI and users in most cases.\n 2) Users should heed the caveats of investigators to the interpretations and limitations of data or model results. Investigators supplying data or models may insist that such caveats be published. Data and model version numbers should also be specified.\n 3) Browse products, Quicklook, and Planning data are not intended for science analysis or publication and should not be used for those purposes without consent of the PI.\n 4) Users should acknowledge the sources of data used in all publications, presentations, and reports: "We acknowledge the NASA Parker Solar Probe Mission and the SWEAP team led by J. Kasper for use of data.".\n 5) Users are encouraged to provide the PI a copy of each manuscript that uses the PI data prior to submission of that manuscript for consideration of publication. On publication, the citation should be transmitted to the PI and any other providers of data.
