Description:
This collection contains Venus Express cleaned high-resolution (128
Hz) magnetic field data acquired by the fluxgate magnetometer
gradiometer onboard the Venus Express spacecraft. The data are
expressed in Venus Solar Orbital (VSO) coordinates and
Radial-East-North coordinates.
The ephemeris were produced by simulating the ejection of meteoroids
from the sunlit hemisphere of cometary nuclei, typically from 0 to 3
au, followed by the propagation of orbits of meteoroids in the Solar
System, taking into account the gravity of the Sun, the 8 planets,
Pluto, and the Moon, as well as the radiation pressure and the
Poynting-Robertson drag. Note that asteroid parent bodies were
considered as active (i.e. comet-like bodies) even if they are not
active today. The showers are predicted when a planet enters a large
enough set of meteoroids, at a distance less than typically 0.01 au.
