=================================================================== Tohban report: 2009-09-15 to 2009-09-21 Produced at 06:00pm EDST on 2009-09-21 (at NASA/GSFC) Checked data from 2009-09-12/00:00 UT to 2009-09-17/24:00 UT =================================================================== General Notes: ______________ 1. Apogee raise maneuvers for Artemis on B on September 13 at ~19 UT and C on September 15 at ~09 UT. 2. THEMIS flight software version 0x3600 aboard THEMIS-E was Uploaded from ~19 uT to 21 UT on September 17. Total loss of observing time 11.75 hours due to turning off instrument during this time interval. 3. Data gap on THEMIS C on September 12 due to transmitter problem. 4. FBK data of EFI on THB show noise in the low frequency bands after maneuver at ~20 UT on September 13. This happened to THC on September 3, 2009 as pointed out in previous Thoban report: "After ICCR_095 done for THC on 09/03, FBK data of EFI on THC show noise in the low frequency bands, possibly due to EFI spikes caused by spacecraft shadowing." 5. Burst triggering (from 09/12 to 09/17): THA: time-based burst triggering (PB and WB) at 13:30 UT is generally working well except 09/16 and 09/17. THD: time-based burst triggering (PB and WB) at 13:30 UT is working very well. THE: time-based burst triggering (PB and WB) at 13:30 UT is working very well.

Fast survey collection is covering intervals through the magnetosheath and magnetopause with significant inner magnetosphere coverage. Burst data is being collected at the magnetopause (density trigger) and within the magnetosphere (time-based burst trigger at 13:30 UT). B and C are collecting observations primarily in the solar wind.
