LECP data from the Neptune far encounter from 1989-09-02T19:53
to 1989-08-23T19:55:36, and from 1989-08-26T23:53:35 to 1989-09-02T19:54.
The data set provides 12.8 minute counting rate and flux measurements during
the instrument stepping operation.

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 2 while the
spacecraft was within the vicinity of Neptune. This instrument
measures the intensities of in-situ charged particles
( >13 keV electrons and >24 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 Neptune 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 12.8 minute rate and flux
measurements within 1/8 of the LECP instrumental motor rotation
period (the angular scanning periods, or step period). |
