The silence map: I listed every sound channel of 19 worlds, and 73 of 152 have never been measured

Of 152 ways the Solar System could be heard, 74 are measured and public and 73 have never been measured. I made a table of 19 bodies against eight physical channels, from the air and the ground to radio, lightning and spin, and asked of every cell whether that signal has ever been measured and whether its data are public. A cell counts as measured only when a peer-reviewed paper or the mission's own archive release reports the signal. Of the 152 cells, 74 are measured and public, and I turned them into sound (IP-A22); 2 were measured with no public digital record; 3 belong to another body; 73 have never been measured. Spin is known for every body, heat for all but Chiron, plasma waves for 16. The whole body ringing is known for four: the Sun, Earth, Jupiter and Saturn. Triton and Pluto are known only by their heat and spin. Tables of one channel across the planets exist; I found no table of every channel against each body. This record holds the paper (OCO paper IP-A23). Part of The sound of the sky: 12 papers and their sounds: 10.5281/zenodo.23986764.

Abstract

Of 152 ways the Solar System could be heard, 74 are measured and public and 73 have never been measured. I made a table of 19 bodies against eight physical channels, from the air and the ground to radio, lightning and spin, and asked of every cell whether that signal has ever been measured and whether its data are public. A cell counts as measured only when a peer-reviewed paper or the mission's own archive release reports the signal. Of the 152 cells, 74 are measured and public, and I turned them into sound (IP-A22); 2 were measured with no public digital record; 3 belong to another body; 73 have never been measured. Spin is known for every body, heat for all but Chiron, plasma waves for 16. The whole body ringing is known for four: the Sun, Earth, Jupiter and Saturn. Triton and Pluto are known only by their heat and spin. Tables of one channel across the planets exist; I found no table of every channel against each body. This record holds the paper (OCO paper IP-A23). Part of The sound of the sky: 12 papers and their sounds: 10.5281/zenodo.23986764.
