https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/ibex/background_monitor/aareadme.txt The IBEX Background Monitor measures IBEX's high-energy proton background by integrating the flux of >~14 keV protons over a 7 deg (FWHM) conical field of view. The Background Monitor is housed with, and coaligned with, IBEX-Hi. A full description is given by Allegrini et al, Sp. Sci. Rev. (2009), 146: 105-115. This directory provides 8-day (one orbit) files containing 0.24-s resolution >14 keV proton counts along with instrument pointing information and spacecraft ephemeris data at the same resolution. It also contains a descriptive file on IBEX-Lo, IBEX-Hi and Background Monitor time series data with which the file content may be understood.
