This data collection contains Calibrated data taken by the New Horizons Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument during the JUPITER mission phase. During the Jupiter mission phase, SWAP used two voltage sweeping plans: plan 0 and plan 5. Plan 0 was designed for solar wind observations with the RPA voltage set to 1050f the center energy of the ESA passband below 2000eV. Above 2000eV the RPA was turned off and only the ESA was operated. In plan 0 coarse-fine scans were performed. In plan 5 the RPA was off for the entire energy sweep.
From 01/07/2007 11:08:51 to 2/21/2007 16:42:42 SWAP was in plan 0 taking 2 minutes of data approximately every 2 hours. At 2/21/2007 17:27:31 the science team kept the plan number set at 0 and changed the the data rate such that SWAP took 1 coarse and 1 fine scan every 5 minutes. Then at 02/25/2007 19:22:43 the team switched to plan 5 which had the RPA off and did two coarse scans in 64 seconds every 5 minutes. From 04/14/2007 22:13:23 to 04/16/2007 06:41:06 SWAP was in plan 0, and from 04/22/2007 10:45:23 onward SWAP mostly in plan 5 until it was changed back to plan 0.
The observations in this volume are stored in data files using standard Flexible Image Transport Sytem (FITS) format. Each FITS file has a corresponding detached PDS label file, named according to a common convention. The FITS files have image and/or table extensions; see the PDS label plus the DOCUMENT files for a description of these extensions and their contents.
This is PDS data set NH-J-SWAP-3-JUPITER-V1.0 contained on volume NHJUSW_2001 and is available online at
