These Information files and data files should be considered with our paper "On the Confinement of Ultrarelativistic Electron Remnant Belts to Low L-shells" by V. Pinto, X.-J. Zhang, D. Mourenas, et al., to appear the Journal of Geophysical Research-Space Physics. They include a PDF file "Information..." that details the 18 considered events of remnant belts of ultra-relativistic electrons observed in 2012-2017 by the Van Allen Probes and the method of production of the data files, There are also data files of ULF wave power as a function of time for the different pairs of stations provided in "date-power-new+" dat files (in the "ULFWavePower.zip" file). LANL* LCDS calculations for the considered periods are provided in "Lmax-date-Txx" txt files (in the "LANL-LCDS.zip" file) for T96 and T05 magnetic field models (xx in file name indicating the UT hour of start and LCDS being calculated in steps of 5 min). The electron PSD profiles obtained from the Van Allen Probes during/nearby each event are provided in the "PSD-VanAllenProbes" PDF file. All the data used here are freely available from different repositories (see below). We gratefully acknowledge Van Allen Probes ECT-REPT/MagEIS and EMFISIS data freely available from https://www.rbsp-ect.lanl.gov/ and https://emfisis.physics.uiowa.edu/data/. We are also grateful to S. Mende and C.T. Russell for the Prince George and Athabasca magnetometer data from the THEMIS GMAG network freely available at http://themis.igpp.ucla.edu/gmag_desc.shtml (where magnetometer data from the following stations are also available), the AUTUMNX magnetometer network funded through the Canadian Space Agency Geospace Observatory for the Athabasca University magnetometer data at http://autumn.athabascau.ca/, the Tromso Geophysical Observatory, University of Tromsož Norway, for the Dombas magnetometer data at http://flux.phys.uit.no/geomag.html, the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska at http://magnet.asf.alaska.edu/ for the Trapper Creek magnetometer data, and the Canadian Magnetic Observatory Network maintained and operated by the Geological Survey of Canada at https://www.geomag.nrcan.gc.ca/index-en.php for the Meanook magnerometer data used in this study. We also thank I.R. Mann, D.K. Milling, and the CARISMA team for the PINA and LCL magnetometer data obtained from http://data.carisma.ca, provided by the University of Alberta with founding from the Canadian Space Agency. We acknowledge the CXD team at LANL for GPS electron flux measurements freely available from NOAA at https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/spaceweather/satellite-data/satellitesystems/gps/.
