Tools for Energetic Particle Data Analysis Throughout the Solar System
Abstract
The current moment presents a unique opportunity for simulatneous observation of energetic particles throughout the solar system to investigate such questions as the site and mechanisms of suprathermal ion acceleration. Data from charged particle detectors of similar capabilities present on the MESSENGER, JUNO, Cassini, New Horizons, and Voyager, much of it publicly available, can be leveraged to illuminate longstanding questions. We present a web launchable set of tools (MIDL) which use a common semantic data model (HELIOLIB) to allow data discovery and analysis of in situ measurements throughout the solar system. Comparisons of spectral features and their evolution measured by similar detectors as the same event propagates outward through the solar system should allow exciting new science. We will show specific results using PEPSSI (New Horizons) cruise science data and provide pointers to other public data sets with MIDL access.;
