Magnetic Waves Excited by Newborn Interstellar Pickup Ions Measured by the Voyager Spacecraft from 1 to 45 au. III. Observation Times

Academic Article

Abstract

  • Abstract In our companion papers we analyze 637 intervals of magnetic wave activity observed by the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft from its launch in 1977 through the end of 1990. We argue that these waves originate from cyclotron resonance with newborn interstellar pickup He+ and H+. As the list of wave events is long and potentially useful to other researchers, we take this opportunity to list the times of those wave events here, along with their heliocentric location, ellipticity (often referred to as polarization), and whether thermal ion data is available from the PLS instrument. A brief overview of the analysis contained within the companion papers is also provided.
