New Horizons Primary and Extended Missions: Solar Wind Parameters
A PDS3 version of this data set can be found here.
Status: LOCALLY ARCHIVED
Abstract: This data set presents characteristics of the solar wind derived from data taken by the New Horizons Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument as well as pickup ions. It contains two data products. The solar wind product each product compiles the CODMAC level 2 source data used, the solar wind proton density, proton speed, proton temperature, proton dynamic pressure, proton thermal pressure, and spacecraft position. These data were derived from observations obtained during cruise, Pluto encounter (excluding the period inside the Pluto system), and afterwards. The pickup ion product provides the interstellar pickup ion density, temperature, and pressure. These data were culled for times when the solar wind speed varied over the ~24 hour period by >1% (~13% of the samples). This PDS4 version was created by migrating labels (only) from the PDS3 V2.0 data set.
