Here is an expanded view of Day 287, as referenced on the Dynamics Explorer Page.

Plasma Wave Data (University of Iowa). You can see the UHR from 2000-2040 or so, when the density is about 100 cm-3 (100 KHz). |
Next, From the aperture bias paper (Olsen et al). This is three hours later than the inbound pass shown above. Note on the HAPI figure. Everybody knows that the ion fluxes are a factor of 43 or so down from the electron flux, but I could never convince SwRI to replot the data with independent flux scales. So, their ion fluxes all plot as blue. When I scanned the print, I pushed the dynamic range so the dark blue trace would show - the triangular traces are the pitch angle modulated HAPI response to ions above the RIMS energy range.

Eventually we got all the data from this orbit. Here are all 3 of the detectors, hydrogen (low channel) and helium (upper channel). In each image, there are 4 panels, ordered from 0V bias to -8V bias.
