=================================================================== Tohban report: 2009-03-24 to 2009-03-30 Produced at 10:00 on 2009-03-30 (at Berkeley by Jonathan Eastwood) Checked data from: 2009-03-21/00:00 UT to 2009-03-28/23:59 UT =================================================================== Summary: 1. Long shadows on Themis B and THEMIS C (two) - see instrument ops for details. 2. Be aware of daily shadow intervals on D and E, and shadows on C every other day. 3. Issue with data processing and automatic production of summary plots for March 20/21/22, expected to be resolved within a couple of days. 4. Themis A, D 24 hour summary plots - electron density - between 12 and 13UT there is sometimes a spike for ~15 minutes to ne > 100 cm-3, not there in higher resolution plots =================================================================== Interesting Science Targets: 3/23: Themis AE = 200 at 6UT, sharp onset, all spacecraft in FS mode. 3/24: Themis AE > 400 from ~3UT - 10UT. 3/25: Themis AE = ~1000 at 6:30UT, during minor conjunction (burst mode TH-C prior to eclipse) 3/26: Themis AE > 800 at 8:15UT, sharp onset (TH-B and TH-C in plasma sheet in SS mode) =================================================================== ICCRs Approved: ICCRF_DOP082: This is to check the FGM 11 Hz noise on TH-A and TH-B during eclipse. The tests will occur for TH-A: 2009-04-01 11:19:00 – 14:09:00 for TH-B: 2009-03-31 08:05:00 – 12:35:00 ICCRF_JSM083: This is to update the flight software to version 5.2 on all spacecraft (TH-A, TH-D, TH-E currently 5.1, TH-C, TH-D currently 5.0) =================================================================== Data quality/collection status: TH-A (no summary plots 3/21 but L1 data is there) FGM: full coverage ESA: full coverage SST: full coverage EFI fields + filter bank: full coverage SCM fields + filter bank: full coverage TH-B (no data after ~13UT, 3/27) (no summary plots 3/21, 3/22 but L1 data is there) FGM: full coverage ESA: full coverage except 16:30UT 3/23 -
