| Data Set Abstract |
This data set gives the best available values for ion densities,
temperatures, and velocities near Neptune derived from data
obtained by the Voyager 2 plasma experiment. All parameters are
obtained by fitting the observed spectra (current as a function
of energy) with Maxwellian plasma distributions, using a non-linear
least squares fitting routine to find the plasma parameters which,
when coupled with the full instrument response, best simulate the
data. The PLS instrument measures energy/charge, so composition is
not uniquely determined but can be deduced in some cases by the
separation of the observed current peaks in energy (assuming the
plasma is co-moving). |
