Voyager 1 PWS hr-avgd and peak plasma wave data

Published by PDS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 12, 2026 at 12:30 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 10, 2026
Hourly averages and peaks of calibrated electric field spectrum analyzer data from Voyager 1 PWS instrument The plasma parameters are obtained by finding the best fit of a convected isotropic Maxwellian distribution to the data. One sigma errors are typically less than 0.5% in the speed and VR, less than 5% for the density and thermal speed, and vary greatly for VT and VN. Sampling times range from 12 to 192 sec., with sampling generally more frequent early in the mission. The velocity components are given in the RTN coordinate system, where R is radially outward, T is in a plane parallel to the solar equatorial plane and positive in the direction of solar rotation, and N completes a right-handed system.
