            <Description>There are two estimates of the photoemission current from LAP1 sweeps of a sunlit probe. 
I_PH0 in PHO files is a statistical estimate from several sweeps (over 60 minute 
windows), while I_PHO in the ASW files is an estimate from a single sweep with larger 
uncertainties but higher time resolution (usually 160 s). As LAP1 has shown no significant 
contamination effects, these estimates should be directly proportional to the EUV flux at the 
Rosetta position in the 20-130 nm band [Johansson et al, 2017]. For LAP2, the same 
techniques have revealed a lower photoemission at the start of the cometary phase of the 
emission, and a sharp drop in photoemission after significant thruster firings (e.g. dayside 
excursion, 60% decrease) with sporadic recoveries and relapses. We therefore only use LAP1 
based values. 

While there is no other source of photoemission measurements than LAP, its value is 
controlled by solar EUV radiation which is known from e.g. TIMED and SDO at Earth and 
MAVEN at Mars. Photoemission values by both methods were presented by Johansson et al. 
[2017] and compared to Earth and Mars data. The two methods were found to give consistent 
results, also in agreement with a third independent method immune to instrument offsets. 
However, around perihelion all methods returned about 50% less photoemission than 
expected from the Earth and Mars EUV fluxes. This may be a real effect, for example because 
of attenuation of solar EUV radiation by large numbers of small dust grains at large distance 
from the nucleus. It is also possible that this somehow relates to probe surface contamination, 
though no other such effects have been noted on LAP1</Description>
