VOYAGER 1 JUPITER PLASMA DERIVED ION MOMENTS 96 SEC

THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE BEST ESTIMATES OF THE TOTAL ION DENSITY AT JUPITER DURING THE VOYAGER 1 ENCOUNTER IN THE PLS VOLTAGE RANGE (10-5950 EV/Q). IT IS CALCULATED USING THE METHOD OF MCNUTT ET AL. (1981) WHICH TO FIRST ORDER CONSISTS OF TAKING THE TOTAL MEASURED CURRENT AND DIVIDING BY THE COLLECTOR AREA AND PLASMA BULK VELOCITY. THIS METHOD IS ONLY ACCURATE FOR HIGH MACH NUMBER FLOWS DIRECTLY INTO THE DETECTOR, AND MAY RESULT IN UNDERESTIMATES OF THE TOTAL DENSITY OF A FACTOR OF 2 IN THE OUTER MAGNETOSPHERE. THUS ABSOLUTE DENSITIES SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CAUTION, BUT DENSITY VARIATIONS IN THE DATA SET CAN BE TRUSTED. THE LOW RESOLUTION MODE DENSITY IS USED BEFORE 1979 63 1300, AFTER THIS THE LARGER OF THE HIGH AND LOW RESOLUTION MODE DENSITIES IN A 96 SEC PERIOD IS USED SINCE THE L-MODE SPECTRA OFTEN ARE SATURATED. COROTATION IS ASSUMED INSIDE L=17.5, AND A CONSTANT VELOCITY COMPONENT OF 200 KM/S INTO THE D CUP IS USED OUTSIDE OF THIS. THESE ARE THE DENSITIES GIVEN IN THE MCNUTT ET AL. (1981) PAPER CORRECTED BY A FACTOR OF 1.209 (.9617) FOR DENSITIES OBTAINED FROM THE SIDE (MAIN) SENSOR. THIS CORRECTION IS DUE TO A BETTER CALCULATION OF THE EFFECTIVE AREA OF THE SENSORS. DATA FORMAT: COLUMNS 1-6 ARE TIME (YEAR, DAY, HOUR, MIN, SEC, MSEC) COLUMN 7 IS THE MOMENT DENSITY IN CM-3. EACH ROW HAS FORMAT (6I4, E12.3). VALUES OF 1.E32 INDICATE THAT THE PARAMETER COULD NOT BE OBTAINED FROM THE DATA USING THE STANDARD ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DATASET AND THE INSTRUMENT WHICH PRODUCED IT CAN BE FOUND ELSEWHERE IN THIS CATALOG. AN OVERVIEW OF THE DATA IN THIS DATA SET CAN BE FOUND IN MCNUTT ET AL. (1981) AND A COMPLETE INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND IN BRIDGE (1977).

Voyager 1 Jupiter Ephemeris Heliographic Coordinates Bundle

This bundle consists of Voyager 1 Jupiter encounter ephemeris data in Heliographic coordinates. Two versions, both covering the same time period, but containing slightly different data, are provided. One version was generated by the Voyager MAG team from Voyager 1 SEDR, the other by the PDS/PPI node using the VG1_JUP.BSP and PCK00003.TPC SPICE kernels.

VOYAGER 2 JUPITER POSITION RESAMPLED DATA 48.0 SECONDS

This data set includes Voyager 2 Jupiter encounter position data that have been generated at a 48.0 second sample rate using the NAIF SPICE kernals. The data set is composed of 4 columns: 1) ctime - this column contains the data acquisition time. The time is always output in the ISO standard spacecraft event time format (yyyy-mm-dd-Thh:mm:ss.sss) but is stored internally in Cline time which is measured in seconds after 00:00:00.000 Jan 01, 1966, 2) r - this column contains the radial distance from Jupiter in Rj = 71398 km, 3) longitude - this column contains the east longitude of the spacecraft in degrees, 4) latitude - this column contains the latitude of the spacecraft in degrees. Position data is given in Minus System III coordinates.

VOYAGER 2 SATURN PLASMA DERIVED ION FITS 96 SEC

THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE ION PARAMETERS IN THE PLS VOLTAGE RANGE (10-5950 EV/Q) WITH FORMAL 1 SIGMA ERRORS OBTAINED FROM VOYAGER 2 DATA AT SATURN BY FITTING THE MEASURED SPECTRA WITH ISOTROPIC MAXWELLIAN DISTRIBUTIONS TO OBTAIN PLASMA DENSITIES, TEMPERATURES, AND VELOCITY. ONLY SPECTRA WHICH HAD DISTINCT CURRENT PEAKS WERE FIT. SPECTRA WERE FIT USING ONE OR TWO ION SPECIES, PROTONS AND/OR A HEAVY ION WHICH WAS TAKEN TO BE NITROGEN OUTSIDE OF 14 RS AND OXYGEN ELSEWHERE. OUTSIDE L=10-12 ION SPECTRA CHANGE RAPIDLY, SO THE VALUES IN THIS DATA SET DO NOT REPRESENT AVERAGE PLASMA CONDITIONS IN THE OUTER MAGNETOSPHERE. THE VALUES FOR POSITION AND MAGNETIC FIELD GIVEN IN THE DATA SET ARE ONLY APPROXIMATE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR PUBLICATION. PARAMETERS WHICH ARE IDENTICALLY 0 AND HAVE UNCERTAINTIES OF 0 WERE NOT FIT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT DATA; THESE NUMBERS ARE THUS NOT REAL VALUES.

VOYAGER 2 SATURN RADIO OCCULTATION RAW DATA V1.0

This data set consists of raw data collected during the Saturn radio occultation of Voyager 2 on 26 August 1981, ring scattering data collected during the same time period, test and calibration data collected about 8 hours earlier, and ancillary files that might be useful in analysis of those data. The raw data are sampled voltage outputs from receivers tuned to the Voyager carrier frequencies at both S-band and X-band during the occultation. The data have been reduced to give profiles of temperature and pressure as a function of height in the atmosphere and to infer magnetic field orientations in the upper ionosphere.

VOYAGER 1 SOLAR WIND MAGNETIC FIELD HGCOORDS HOUR AVGS V1.0

This dataset contains Voyager 1 magnetometer data from the interplanetary cruise averaged to 1 hour samples in Heliographic coordinates.

VOYAGER 2 JUP LOW ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLE CALIB. 15MIN

THIS DATA SET CONSISTS OF RESAMPLED DATA FROM THE LOW ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLE (LECP) EXPERIMENT ON VOYAGER 2 WHILE THE SPACECRAFT WAS IN THE VICINITY OF JUPITER. THIS INSTRUMENT MEASURES THE INTENSITIES OF IN-SITU CHARGED PARTICLES (>26 KEV ELECTRONS AND >30 KEV IONS) WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF DISCRIMINATION BASED ON ENERGY, MASS SPECIES, AND ANGULAR ARRIVAL DIRECTION. A SUBSET OF ALMOST 100 LECP CHANNELS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS DATA SET. THE LECP DATA ARE GLOBALLY CALIBRATED TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE (SEE BELOW) AND THEY ARE TIME AVERAGED TO ABOUT 15 MINUTE TIME INTERVALS WITH THE EXACT BEGINNING AND ENDING TIMES FOR THOSE INTERVALS MATCHING THE LECP INSTRUMENTAL CYCLE PERIODS (THE ANGULAR SCANNING PERIODS). THE LECP INSTUMENT HAS A ROTATING HEAD FOR OBTAINING ANGULAR ANISOTROPY MEASUREMENTS OF THE MEDIUM ENERGY CHARGED PARTICLES THAT IT MEASURES. THE CYCLE TIME FOR THE ROTATION IF VARIABLE, BUT DURING ENCOUNTERS IT IS ALWAYS FASTER THAN 15 MINUTES. THUS, THE FULL ANGULAR ANISOTROPY INFORMATION IS PRESERVED WITH THIS DATA. THE DATA IS IN THE FORM OF 'RATE' DATA WHICH HAS NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO THE USUAL PHYSICAL UNITS. THE REASON IS THAT SUCH A CONVERSION WOULD DEPEND ON UNCERTAIN DETERMINATIONS SUCH AS THE MASS SPECIES OF THE PARTICLES AND THE LEVEL OF BACKGROUND. BOTH MASS SPECIES AND BACKGROUND ARE GENERALLY DETERMINED FROM CONTEXT DURING THE STUDY OF PARTICULAR REGIONS. TO CONVERT 'RATE' TO 'INTENSITY' FOR A PARTICULAR CHANNEL ONE PERFORMS THE FOLLOWING TASKS: 1) DECIDE ON THE LEVEL OF BACKGROUND CONTAMINATION AND SUBTRACT THAT OFF THE GIVEN RATE LEVEL. BACKGROUND IS TO BE DETERMINED FROM CONTEXT AND FROM MAKING USE OF SECTOR 8 RATES (SECTOR 8 HAS A 2 mm AL SHIELD COVERING IT). 2) DIVIDE THE BACKGROUND CORRECTED RATE BY THE CHANNEL GEOMETRIC FACTOR AND BY THE ENERGY BANDPASS OF THE CHANNEL. THE GEOMETRIC FACTOR IS FOUND IN ENTRY 'channel_geometric_ factor' AS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH CHANNEL 'channel_id'. TO DETERMINE THE ENERGY BANDPASS, ONE MUST JUDGE THE MASS SPECIES OF THE OF THE DETECTED PARTICLES (FOR IONS BUT NOT FOR ELECTRONS). THE ENERGY BAND PASSES ARE GIVEN IN ENTRIES 'minimum_instrument_parameter' and 'maximum_instrument_ parameter' IN TABLE 'FPLECPENERGY', AND ARE GIVEN IN THE FORM 'ENERGY/NUCLEON'. FOR CHANNELS THAT BEGIN THEIR NAMES WITH THE DESIGNATIONS 'CH' THESE BANDPASSES CAN BE USED ON MASS SPECIES THAT ARE ACCEPTED INTO THAT CHANNEL (SEE ENTRIES 'minimum_instrument_parameter' and 'maximum_instrument_ parameter' IN TABLE 'FPLECPCHANZ', WHICH GIVE THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM 'Z' VALUE ACCEPTED -- THESE ENTRIES ARE BLANK FOR ELECTRON CHANNELS). FOR OTHER CHANNELS THE GIVEN BANDPASS REFERS ONLY TO THE LOWEST 'Z' VALUE ACCEPTED. THE BANDPASSES FOR OTHER 'Z' VALUES ARE NOT ALL KNOWN, BUT SOME ARE GIVEN IN THE LITERATURE (E.G. KRIMIGIS ET AL., 1979). THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE THE PARTICLE INTENSITY WITH THE UNITS: COUNTS/(CM**2.STR.SEC.KEV). SOME CHANNELS ARE SUBJECT TO SERIOUS CONTAMINATIONS, AND MANY OF THESE CONTAMINATIONS CANNOT BE REMOVED EXCEPT WITH A REGION-BY-REGION ANALYSIS, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN DONE FOR THIS DATA. THUS, TO USE THIS DATA IT IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL THAT THE CONTAMINATION TYPES ('contamination_id' , 'contamination_desc') AND THE LEVELS OF CONTAMINATION ('data_quality_id' CORRESPONDING TO THE DEFINITIONS 'data_quality_desc') BE CAREFULLY EXAMINED FOR ALL REGIONS OF STUDY. A DEAD TIME CORRECTION PROCEDURE HAS BEEN APPLIED IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE LINEAR EFFECTS OF DETECTOR OVERDRIVE (PULSE-PILEUP). THIS PROCEDURE DOES NOT FIX SEVERELY OVERDRIVEN DETECTORS. A PROCEDURE IS AVAILABLE FOR CORRECTING VOYAGER 2 LECP ELECTRON CONTAMINATION OF LOW ENERGY ION CHANNELS, BUT ITS EFFECTIVENESS HAS BEEN EVALUATED ONLY FOR THE URANUS DATA SET. THUS, CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN APPLIED ONLY TO THE URANUS DATA SET. Also included with this data are one standard deviation statistical uncertainties for the directional data (sectors 1 through 8) expressed as a percent. Unknown values are generally coded as s

Voyager 1 Plasma Spectrometer (PLS) VIPER-Fit Plasma Ion Composition near Jupiter, 96 s Data

These Data are from a Re-Analysis of the Voyager Plasma Spectrometer, PLS, Data at Jupiter by the PLS Group at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, LASP, at the University of Colorado. Density, Temperature, and Flow Velocity Fits for total and individual Ions were done using the Voyager Ion PLS Experiment Response, VIPER, Code and Error Analysis as described at http://lasp.colorado.edu/home.mop/missions/voyager/viper/. Fits are determined from processing of the Ion Currents from the A, B, C, and D Cups of the Instrument. As per the Fit Case Variable, one of five different Constraints were used in the VIPER Fits for each 96 s Time Interval: (1) Free Variation of all Parameters (mainly for the cold Ion Torus), (2) Constraint of the Ion Abundances for the five major Species (O+, O++, S+, S++, S+++) to standard Composition as determined from Delamere et al., (2005), (3) fixed Ion Composition and Flow Speed, (4) Cold Blobs in the Plasmasheet where resolved Peaks can be Fit with allowance for some Variance in Composition, (5) Interpolation between Composition of Cold Torus and standard Abundances at 6 RJ from Delamere et al., (2005).

VOYAGER 2 DAILY POSITION V1.0

This dataset contains Voyager 2 trajecotyr data from the interplanetary cruise sampled daily in Solar Ecliptic and Heliographic coordinates.

VOYAGER 1 SATURN PLASMA WAVE SPECTROMETER EDITED SPEC 4.0SEC

This data set consists of 4-second edited, wave electric field intensities from the Voyager 1 Plasma Wave Receiver spectrum analyzer obtained in the vicinity of the Saturnian magnetosphere. For each 4-second interval, a field strength is determined for each of the 16 spectrum analyzer channels whose center frequencies range from 10 Hertz to 56.2 kiloHertz and which are logarithmically spaced in frequency, four channels per decade. The time associated with each set of intensities (16 channels) is the time of the beginning of the scan. During data gaps where complete 4-second spectra are missing, no entries exist in the file, that is, the gaps are not zero-filled or tagged in any other way. When one or more channels are missing within a scan, the missing measurements are zero-filled. Data are edited but not calibrated. The data numbers in this data set can be plotted in raw form for event searches and simple trend analysis since they are roughly proportional to the log of the electric field strength. Calibration procedures and tables are provided for use with this data set

Voyager 1 Jupiter Ephemeris System III Coordinates Bundle

This bundle consists of Voyager 1 Jupiter encounter ephemeris data in System III (1965) left handed coordinates covering the period 1979-03-03 to 1979-03-16. Two versions, both covering the same time period, but containing slightly different data, are provided. One version was generated by the Voyager MAG team from Voyager 1 SEDR, the other by the PDS/PPI node using the VG1_JUP.BSP and PCK00003.TCP SPICE kernels.

VOYAGER 2 JUPITER/SHOEMAKER-LEVY 9 UVS NULL RESULTS V1.0

A preliminary examination of the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) data revealed no obvious detections of anything which might correspond with the impact phenomena. In order to investigate the possibility that more subtle impact-related events were present in the data and to establish a formal statistical upper limit for the non-detection of the impacts, we performed a statistical analysis as described in the DPS poster paper 'Voyager 2 UVS Observations of Jupiter During the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impact Events', by R. J. Vervack et al. [VERVACKETAL1995]

VOYAGER 1 SATURN PLASMA DERIVED ION FITS BROWSE 96 SEC

THIS DATA SET CONTAINS ESTIMATES OF THE ION MOMENT DENSITY IN THE PLS VOLTAGE RANGE (10-5950 EV/Q) AT SATURN DURING THE VOYAGER 1 ENCOUNTER. RIGID COROTATION IS ASSUMED, WHICH LEADS TO AN UNDERESTIMATE OF THE DENSITY IN SOME REGIONS, AS DOES THE USE OF AN ACCEPTANCE AREA RELEVANT FOR A COLD BEAM FOR PLASMA WHICH IS TRANSONIC IN SOME REGIONS. DENSITIES MAY BE UNDERESTIMATED BY A FACTOR OF 2-3 IN THE INNER MAGNETOSPHERE, SO THIS DATA SET SHOULD BE USED PRIMARILY FOR STUDIES USING VARIATIONS IN PLASMA DENSITY. THE FIT DENSITIES GIVE A BETTER ESTIMATE OF THE ABSOLUTE DENSITY. THIS IS THE DATA SHOWN AND DESCRIBED IN DETAIL IN LAZARUS AND MCNUTT (1983).

Voyager 1 Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS) Proton and Helium Energy Fluxes, Level H3 (H3), Daily Data

The joint California Institute of Technology, Caltech, Goddard Space Flight Center, GSFC, Cosmic Ray Subsystem, CRS, experiment on Voyager consists of three types of solid state detector telescopes: * Two High Energy Telescopes: HET-I and HET-II * Four Low Energy Telscopes (dE/dx versus E): LET A, LET B, LET C, and LET D * The Electron Telescope, TET The HETs and LETs are redundant and are designed to complement each other and to cover a broad range in energy, intensity, and charge spectra. The HETs covered an energy range between 6 MeV/n and 500 MeV/n for nuclei ranging in atomic numbers from 1 through 30. In addition, electrons in the energy range between 3 MeV and 100 MeV were measured by this telescope and an electron telescope. The LETs measured the energy and determined the identity of nuclei for energies between 0.15 MeV/n and 30 MeV/n and atomic numbers from 1 to 30. The instruments also measured the anisotropies of electrons and nuclei. The CRS looks only for very energetic particles in plasma, and has the highest sensitivity of the three particle detectors. Very energetic particles can often be found in the intense radiation fields surrounding some planets (like Jupiter). Particles with the highest-known energies come from other stars. The CRS looks for both. The CRS makes no attempt to slow or capture the super-energetic particles. They simply pass completely through the CRS. However, in passing through, the particles leave signs that they were there. Cosmic Ray Subsystem Science Objectives: * To measure the energy spectrum of electrons from 3 Mev to 110 MeV. * To measure the energy spectra and elemental composition of all cosmic ray nuclei from hydrogen through iron over an energy range from approximately 1 - 500MeV/nuc. * To provide information on the energy content, origin, acceleration process, life history, and dynamics of cosmic rays in the galaxy, and contribute to an understanding of the nucleosynthesis of elements in cosmic ray sources. * To provide information on the transport of cosmic rays, Jovian electrons, and low energy interplanetary particles over an extended region of interplanetary space. * To measure the three-dimensional streaming patterns of nuclei from Hydrogen through Iron and electrons over an extended range. * To measure particle charge compostion in the magnetosphere of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
