Data Set Abstract |
This far encounter data set consists of electron and ion
counting rate data from the Low Energy Charged Particle (LECP)
experiment on Voyager 1 while the spacecraft was within the
vicinity of Saturn. 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 Saturn 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 0.4 second rate measurements within 1/8 of the LECP
instrumental motor rotation period (the angular scanning
periods, or step period). |
