| Data Set Abstract |
THIS DATA SET CONTAINS THE THERMAL ELECTRON DENSITY AND
TEMPERATURE IN THE PLS ENERGY RANGE (10-5950 EV) FROM VOYAGER 1
AT SATURN DERIVED BY FITTING THE LOW ENERGY ELECTRON COMPONENT
WITH A MAXWELLIAN DISTRIBUTION, AND THE MOMENT DENSITY AND
TEMPERATURE OF THE HOT ELECTRONS CALCULATED AFTER THE SIGNAL FROM
THE THERMAL COMPONENT IS SUBTRACTED FROM THE ELECTRON SPECTRA. IT
IS A SUBSET OF THE DATA SET VG1-S-PLS-5-ELE-FIT-96.0SEC WHICH
SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE THIS DATA IS USED. SPACECRAFT CHARGING
MAY RESULT IN FACTOR OF 2-3 ERRORS IN THE THERMAL ELECTRON
DENSITY. THE FIRST SIX COLUMNS ARE THE TIME TAG (YEAR, DAY, HOUR,
MIN, SEC, MSEC), COLUMN 7 AND 8 ARE THE FIT DENSITY AND
TEMPERATURE OF THE THERMAL ELECTRON COMPONENT, AND 9 AND 10 ARE
THE MOMENT DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE OF THE SUPRATHERMAL ELECTRONS.
EACH ROW HAS THE FORMAT (6I5,4E12.4). VALUES OF 1.E32 INDICATE
THAT THE PARAMETER COULD NOT BE OBTAINED FROM THE DATA USING THE
STANDARD ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS
DATASET AND THE INSTRUMENT WHICH PRODUCED IT CAN BE FOUND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS CATALOG. AN OVERVIEW OF THE DATA IN THIS DATA
SET CAN BE FOUND IN SITTLER ET AL. (1983) AND A COMPLETE
INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND IN BRIDGE (1977). |
