Data Set Abstract |
This far encounter step data set consists of the counting
rate and flux data for electrons and ions from the Low Energy
Charged Particle (LECP) experiment on Voyager 1 while the
spacecraft was within the vicinity of Jupiter. This instrument
measures the intensities of in-situ charged particles
( >15 keV electrons and >30 keV ions) with various levels of
discrimination based on energy range and mass species. A subset
of almost 100 LECP channels are included in this data set.
The LECP data are globally calibrated to the extent possible.
During Jupiter far encounter, the entire LEPT (Low Energy
Particle Telescope) and part of the LEMPA (Low Energy
Magnetospheric Particle Analyzer) subsystems were turned on
for data collection. Particles include electrons, protons,
alpha particles, and light, medium, and heavy nuclei particles.
The far encounter data are 3.2 minute rate and flux measurements
within 1/8 of the LECP instrumental motor rotation period
(the angular scanning periods, or step period). |
