STEREO-A PLasma and Supra-Thermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) He++ Phase Space Densities and Counts in 6 normailzed Velocity Ranges and Proton Plasma Moments, Level 3 (L3), 1 h Data

The data set provides 1 hr averages of He⁺², phase space density as a function of V/Vsw in 51 velocity ranges, where V and Vsw are the PUI particle speed and bulk speed of solar wind protons, respectively. These data are delivered to the public domain on a regular basis.

Efforts are made to include the latest known calibration and background determinations, however, these are expected to undergo revision. We therefore suggest that users regularly return to this page, and make sure to get the most recent revision. If the STEREO PLASTIC data are used in presentations or publications, we strongly suggest that that the authors contact A.B. Galvin, STEREO PLASTIC PI, at toni.galvin@unh.edu and Dr.
