THEMIS/ARTEMIS, Fall SWT 4 Sep. 14-16, 2011 ARTEMIS THEMIS Programmatics Since Senior Review 2010: THEMIS/ARTEMIS extended through 2014 Planetary Division has also endorsed ARTEMIS (w/ minimal funding) No new/revised contract with GSFC to account for the Science uptick Visiting scholars program in place (Quanqi Shi, Robert Michell, Marilia Samara) Next Senior Review in 2013 (bridge plus option contract planning has started). SST calibration issue is being remedied per Senior Review plans/recommendations: Offloaded work from Davin who is busy on Maven, SP+ Performed calibrations and modeling at UCLA, cleanup software in place now (Drew Turner). THEMIS: a key player in the golden era of inner magnetosphere research Collaboration with RBSP (joint software with RBSP EFI/FGM, Key Params routines) Opportunity: Use White Sands 1 & Wallops (free) plus BGS (low cost) for 100% FS mode!!! Collaboration with TWINS, ERG, ORBITALS and ground (SD) teams under way ARTEMIS Lunar Orbit Insertions have occurred successfully on June 27 th –July 17 th 2011 Planetary: LADEE conjunctions and crustal anomaly targets have been designed Instrument adjustments are under way -Shadow despining software (local expert is Ferdinand Plaschke) -ESA/SST mode changes – will be magnetospheric only from now on Beyond 2014: MMS conjunctions with THEMIS and ARTEMIS Looking into orbit adjustments to line-up during MMS era – looking amazingly good!

THEMIS GBOs link Reconnection and Current Disruption models Poleward boundary intensifications (enhanced magnetotail reconnection) supply fresh magnetotail lobe plasma to closed field lines. When the new plasma has low entropy, it reaches the near-Earth plasma sheet and triggers substorm expansion How are the dipolarization fronts interacting with each other and the inner magnetosphere? Interchange instability? Deposition of energy? Answers require both: Kinetic exploration (FY10/11/12) and Global exploration (FY13/14) … of the equatorial magnetosphere inside of 12R E.

THEMIS/ARTEMIS, Fall SWT 7 Sep. 14-16, 2011 ARTEMIS THEMIS Non-substorm achievements: The origin of pulsating aurora in the plasma sheet Using coordinated satellite and ground-based all-sky observatories (GBOs) from the THEMIS mission, Nishimura et al. (Science, 2010) provide the first evidence that localized lower-band chorus waves observed at the equator, drive the pulsating aurora at a given pulsating patch in the ionosphere. The findings can also be used to constrain magnetic field models, an otherwise notoriously difficult task. TH-A TH/GBO THEMIS-A (P5) Magnetic Field THEMIS-GBO Imager Auroral and Chorus Intensity are correlated
